DETAILS
Top down version of the lovely and easy-to-wear Jeanne Tee. An elegant choice for an everyday Tee. Three new sleeve lengths have been added to the pattern, so it now includes six different sleeve lengths to choose from (Cap, Mini, Short, Above Elbow, 3/4, and Long sleeve).

The timeless design allows you to play with contrasting colors for the ribbed edges or try one of the pretty hand-dyed multicolored yarns.

The Tee is designed a bit boxy and cropped, so if you prefer a longer length, the top down version makes it easy to adjust to your preferred length. Measurements are included in the pattern.
The samples are knitted in Lavender Lune, DK, colorway Flutter (cap sleeve, above elbow sleeve and ¾ sleeve).

The tee is worked in the round, top down. The body and the sleeves are separated at the underarm and worked down in the round.
