This seamless striped tee is a cool and nautical addition to your wardrobe. With stripes only halfway up the body of the piece with a couple stripes on the sleeves, this tee has more visual interest and more of a playful summer flair. Knit in sport-weight linen yarn, the tee is ideal for summer/spring wear but can be well worn into early fall.

Pattern Notes: This tee is knit top-down in the round with raglan shaping and a scoop neckline. The yoke is first worked in rows with neck and raglan shaping worked at the same time. Once neckline shaping is complete, stitches are cast on for the front neck and the piece is joined and continued to work in rounds. The neckline, sleeve and body hems are worked in garter st, while the body is worked in Stockinette st. The tee has built in proportional ease.
