Cool Breeze T
When spring comes a cool breeze is wonderful.
The Cool Breeze T knit in cool cotton is a terrific symbol of warmer weather to come and a fresh take on the casual t-shirt.
Knit in two pieces with the sleeves cast on, Cool Breeze allows the stitch pattern to take center page.
Knit in one size needles throughout with a slipped stitch ribbing and a fun diamond type pattern this t is sure to please. Wear it casual or dressy, the mercerized cotton will give the pattern an elegant touch.
For a different look, don’t cast on for the sleeves and create a fun tank or vest that will dress up your wardrobe in even the warmest weather.
Lace stretch as well as cotton so for a tighter fit knit one size smaller.
