GENERAL INFORMATION

This is a seamless tee with simple A-line raglan construction which makes a stand through its numerous decorative accents. The ornamental cast on is the main focus in the lower part of the piece, complemented with the same cast on for the sleeve hems. The change of color is also designed to make a striking effect, resembling the white mew gulls flying straight to the horizon at sunset, chasing the sun among the pinky clouds.
The embellishments do not end with these – the raglan is further enhanced by a textured stitch line, while the vikkel braid underlines the adorning embossed neckline.
This tee, as simple as it looks, is a challenge for anyone loving the small details which make the difference. It is full of new stitches and techniques which will enrich your knitting skills.
