ABOUT HAZEL
A relaxed, wear-everywhere knit with heart and heritage.

Named after my great aunt…a spunky, independent woman who lived life on her own terms…the Hazel Top is made for easy days, casual adventures, and moments of quiet confidence. Aunt Hazel was the kind of woman who chased chickens at dusk, took off down back roads to find the perfect spot for fireworks, and never turned down a Thursday night margarita. She lived simply, laughed often, and always dressed for herself.

This top-down tee is worked in fingering weight yarn with a soothing half brioche rib that gives it soft texture and drape. You’ll begin by shaping the back and front shoulders flat before joining in the round under the arms. Clean i-cord finishes give the neckline, hem, and sleeves a polished look.

Knit this one for the free spirits. For the women who laugh late into the night. For the ones who know that comfort and style aren’t opposites—they’re a way of living.
