Welcome to the updated Palmer Tee pattern. After 6 years, this pattern just received a facelift. My new design sample uses Cotton Cashmere by Rowan Yarns. This yarn offers terrific stitch definition and a bit more structure, than the previously used Shibui yarns. When choosing a substitute yarn, sitck with a DK to Light Worsted weight yarn and preferably, one that has some cellulose or plant fiber to it. You can choose a yarn with more drape, but that will impact some visibility of the details, like the lace on the Center pieces and the Ladder St on the Shoulders.
