Designed for both coverage and breathability, this top is perfect for hot summer days. The classic stripes add a touch of preppy charm, while the V-neck neckline flatters your collarbone. Whether you’re running errands or headed to the beach, this top will keep you feeling comfortable and looking great all summer long.

The Budding Garden Tee is a striped V-neck top worked flat in one piece with a split in the center to create the neckline. It is worked in alternating rows of half double crochet and back loop slip stitches to create a ribbed texture.

For this pattern, it is important to match the blocked row height to ensure your finished tee will match the intended bust size.
