Flattering your figure with a slight A-line shaping and a gently curved hem, this quick to knit cotton tee hugs you in all the right places thanks to the wonderful stretch in elann.com Esprit. Knit in the round from the bottom up until the sleeve increases are complete, a few short rows are added after the garter stitch trim to create the curved hemline. The sleeves are trimmed with garter stitch and a rolled neck finishes off the scoop neckline. Choose from a slight (6.3cm/2.5”) or fuller (12.7cm/5”) A-Line width for your perfect silhouette.
