Carlie Tee
A wardrobe staple, the basic tee is taken to a new knitting level by our Carlie Tee: top down and seamless, it features an interesting simultaneous saddle shoulder construction that is both fun to knit and flattering to wear. The Carlie Tee, worked with two strands together, begins with a double ribbed neckband, and continues in stockinette stitch with a combination of short row shaping and increases that raise the back neckline and create the saddle shoulder seams. Shaping continues to the armholes, where sleeves and body stitches are divided. The short sleeves and the body are finished with deep ribbed edges. The Carlie Tee is size inclusive, and is designed to be worn hip length and with a positive ease of approx. 4 - 12 cm 1¼ - 4¾“.
