Current is a cool summer tee inspired by the moody colors of the deep ocean. Worked from side to side, its undulating vertical stripes spectacularly mimic the movement of water. Its simple construction allows you to focus on the rhythm of the stitch patterns, and the results are show stopping. Knit in our soft, sumptuous Cotton Supreme yarn, you’ll be the center of attention in this top, whether you’re strolling along the beach or simply dreaming of your next vacation cruise.

PATTERN NOTES
This top is knit flat from side to side. It is comprised of two rectangles that are joined with the three-needle bind-off to create a visible seam. Stitches for the neckband, hem, and armholes are picked up and worked in the round. This pattern is worked with a slipped stitch selvedge. On RS rows, you will knit the first and last stitch through the back loop. On WS rows, you will slip the first and last stitch purlwise with yarn held in front.
