The Seven Tees is designed for the amazing yarn La Bien Aimée Merino DK.

The buttoned cardigan is worked back and forth in rows from the top down. Shoulder increases (contiguous method) and short rows shape the yoke. Stripes in contrast colors are worked over body and sleeves. The sleeves are knitted in the round and finished with ribbed cuffs. For the front finishing, stitches are picked up along both fronts and small button bands are worked.
