Simple shaping, minimalist colorwork around the yoke, short sleeves, and a boat neck combine beautifully in this tee. Perfect over a sundress or with jeans, this is the piece knitters will reach for all summer long. Knit in the round from the hem to the underarms, sleeve stitches are cast on as well as steek stitches to allow working the colorwork yoke seamlessly in the round. Once the yoke is complete, the sleeve steeks are secured and cut and the back and front are seamed together at the shoulders. Stitches are picked up around the neck and sleeves and ribbed trims are knit in the round for a tidy finish. Goshen’s heavenly cotton blend, cool color palette, and airy drape make it the perfect choice. Colorwork pattern is charted only.
