Tiye, named after one of the queens of Ancient Egypt, is a short-sleeved, round yoke tee. The contrasting bands of eyelet in the yoke are inspired by the elaborate collar necklaces worn by Egyptian royalty. Tiye is worked in the round from the top down, with bust and hip darts for a fitted shape. The simple stitch patterns highlight the lovely variations in hand-dyed sock yarn. Shown in size 34” with 1” negative ease.
