Lima, pronounced as “lee-ma,” is a top-down yoked tee featuring an engaging all-over texture pattern that is both enjoyable and easy to remember. Named after one of my favorite coffee spots in Fort Collins, Colorado, it works up quickly using a DK weight yarn and includes instructions for adjusting the body and sleeve lengths. Wear it casually over a dress or pair it with jeans for a versatile look. The Lima tee effortlessly combines comfort and style, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe.
