The Sellwood Tee is knit from the bottom up in the round, then separated for the upper back and front which are worked flat. The shoulders are joined, and then stitches are picked up for the armholes, cuffs and neckline.

This top features an easy-to-memorize stitch pattern and is a lovely, meditative pattern to work.

I knit mine in Ritual Dyes Sprite, a lovely, bouncy sport weight wool. This is part of a small collection of designs for Ritual Dyes named for some of my favorite neighborhoods in Portland! The other designs in the collection include Albina and Hawthorne!
