This is Susan – a warm weather tee, perfect for anytime and anywhere. I’m wearing it with jeans today and yesterday it complimented dress slacks and heels for my daughter’s baby shower quite nicely! This is a top down, mostly seamless knit. Rib trimming from picked up stitches is worked around its scoop neckline, with a longer variation extending and anchoring its hems. Sleeves are top down too, then worked in the round, and set in after blocking. This design was inspired by the new-to-me waterfall lace – a light and airy, easy to remember 4 stitch by 6 row repeat, that’s both visually interesting and satisfying to create. I hope you’ll agree. Enjoy!
