Seltzer is a super fun summer tee that is ready for a pool-side book and a cute pair of sunglasses. Knit top-down and seamlessly, the slipped stitch pattern and twisted rib fly off the needles. This pattern also includes modifications for making a more full-coverage front if desired.

This pattern works well for many types of yarn. The natural stretch of wool yarn helps with the snug collar, but cotton yarn can be used instead. I have suggested some stretchy cast ons and modifications in the pattern to help yield a bit more ease for those using cotton yarn.
