The pattern for Ceci T is 25% off through June 2nd, no coupon code necessary.

This seamless tee is worked in the round from the bottom up and starts with turned notched hems—elegant and practical. Knit at a loose gauge to create a light and drapey fabric. Ceci T is perfect for transitional layering and multi-seasonal wear. Originally designed for my cruise to South America, it has that effortless-chic vibe that works just about anywhere in the world you visit.

The faux side panels and tidy raglan yoke create a flattering silhouette, while the neckline is the pièce de résistance: a built-in necklace thanks to a sprankle of beads. The sparkle is subtle, but the detail work pops. It’s not in-your-face bling—just eye-catching in all the right ways.

Ceci T gives you options: work the turned hems and neckline in a contrasting color for some playful contrast, or go monochrome for an elegant, understated look. Want a more fitted neckline? Add the optional short rows. Prefer something breezier? Skip them for a clean boatneck vibe.

Ceci T also includes a stitch map for every size, which will make knitting the yoke of your Ceci T a BREEZE!
