Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Spring, 2009: “An unusual silk, linen, and viscose blend is diaphanous and filmy worked at an open gauge in the Watered Quartz Tee. Teva Durham adds contrasting stripes of rib to gather and soften a simple shape.”

Finished Size: 30½ (33½, 36, 38½, 41½, 44)“ bust circumference. Note: Twisted rib gauge is used for calculating bust measurement as it is tighter than the stockinette fabric. Shell shown measures 33½”.
