Named for what I’ve been craving most since the pandemic struck, this tee is sure to be a conversation starter! Socialization Tee is a modified, drop-shoulder tee with a boatneck-style neckline. Socialization Tee is knitted sideways in one piece, and includes notes on how to customize the length. This tee can be knitted a size larger to be worn oversized or knitted a size smaller for a fitted look. The length can be adjusted to be tunic length, or crop top length (or anything that fits your fancy). This tee can be worn over a tank top, bralette, or even a long sleeve t-shirt. The options for customization are plenty with the Socialization tee.

This tee has only one side seam and two shoulder seams, so finishing is minimal. The armholes are made using a cable cast-on, which means there are no stitches to pick up! The cable and lace pattern gives the tee a striped appearance, and the garter rib keeps it stretchy and comfortable.
