Enjoy 20% off the pattern with the code CANVAS from now through the end of June 27, any time zone.

Blank Canvas Tee is a simple circular yoke tee worked from the top down. This design is worked inside out, so you mostly have to knit. It has a unique placement of short rows that shapes the neck without disrupting the neckline. The center column of slipped stitch adds visual interest, but you can skip it if you want.

At first sight it might look similar to my design Pyramid Light, but the shaping is actually very different. If you prefer a design with a higher back neck, this would be ideal.

Blank Canvas Tee is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.
