ABOUT
Ali’s Tee came into being after designing and knitting my Ali’s Sweater sample. It was summer while I was knitting it, and I was wishing for a tee version of this motif! This tee, like the sweater and sock, are named after Ali of Explorer Knits + Fibers, the artist behind the yarn used in the sample. This tee can be adjusted in length to suit your style. This is the DK version of this pattern, it is also available in a Light version that uses fingering weight yarn.
