Reintroducing Innamorata – a delicate Stockinette tee with wide front and back V-necklines, named for a favorite Dean Martin love song. Jumping from my Both Sides Now design and following its lead, Innamorata has been reworked with fingering weight yarn and is now top down. Its short, trimmed sleeves are top down now too, and worked in the round. This is a seamless design except for the sleeve caps that are set in. Enjoy!
