Feel like a queen in the Cleopatra tee! It features colorwork around the neckline, reminiscent of sun rays expanding toward the bust. The sleeves and waist are also accented in colorwork to complement the neckline. The neckline is knit flat, joined in the round, and the sweater is knit top-down from there.

Sizing
I have provided instructions for 8 finished sizes: 30”/76cm (34”/86cm) (38”/97cm) (42”/107cm) (46”/117cm) (50”/127cm) (54”/137cm) (58”/147cm). The top should be worn with between 0 and 2”/5cm+ of positive ease.

Total length of top ranges from 17”/43cm for the smallest 2 sizes and 18.5”/47cm for the largest 2 sizes, though length can easily be adjusted shorter or taller when knitting the body.

Yarn
◦fingering-weight yarn

The yoke of this tee was inspired by Stephen West’s Spectra. Stephen West has an extraordinary eye for color, and his short-row shaping technique used in Spectra is no exception. This pattern has been created with Stephen West’s blessing.
