Witchy, woodsy, and unexpected, the Copperhead Tee is a top-down stranded colorwork tee featuring a yoke of snakes, pine trees, crescent moons, and stars. With its engaging colorwork and short sleeves, this sweater comes together in no time and makes a great spring/fall transitional piece. Nine sizes and modification options for a straight waist or shorter length are included so each knitter can really make this top their own.
