Low Country Tee
Introductory Coupon: Save 25% through April 30, 2026. Please enter LOW25 at checkout. Thank you.
When it’s the warmest, linen feels so cool against the skin. This tee combines just the right amount of lace with stockinette that is designed to last. Linen is a strong fiber that can grow in length over time, so this tee allows for that in body and sleeves.
Construction: Tee is worked seamlessly from the bottom up, with very little finishing. Body is worked in the round from the bottom up to armhole and sts are put on hold. Each sleeve is worked in the round from the bottom up and joined with the body. Raglan shaping brings body and sleeves together, tapering to the neck.
Difficulty: Intermediate
