Lauttasaari tee is now live! You can grab yours with 40% off from my Midsummer sale using the code midsummer2026 at checkout. Code valid until Sunday June 28 at midnight Helsinki time.

Lauttasaari tee is a top down t-shirt pattern. It’s an homage to my neighborhood where I’m currently living. The tee suitable for many outfits, thanks to its minimalistic and simple look. It includes timeless cables across the knit, so it’ll keep you entertained during the knitting process.

Lauttasaari tee is knitted in fingering weight yarn which means that it’s perfect for summer, but also worn all year round. For the perfect summer tee I recommend to choose a merino cotton or a silk yarn for the most comfort for warm summer days.
