CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN
A drapey and boxy tee with two options for length, hip length, or an above the knee shift dress. Knit in the round from the bottom up starting with a beautiful inverted scallop lace hem, the tee continues up without waist shaping for a relaxed fit. The front and back are separated and dolman sleeves are cast on. Attached i-cord is worked on the edge of the sleeves and neck for a neat finish and a scoop neck makes this easy to slip over the head. Kitchener stitch joins the shoulders. Knit in a lovely plant dyed hemp this tee is perfect for long hot summer days. Simply throw it in the washing machine after a day in the salt, sand and sunshine. The hemp will only get better with every wash and wear.
