This classic shaped V Neck Tee is worked flat from the top down until joined at the center front where it is then worked in the round. Sleeve stitches are placed onto stitch holders or waste yarn and then picked up and finished to the desired length.

Tee was worked with two strands held together to get the tweed effect, however any yarn that will get gauge and drape will work beautifully. For the two color tee, I just used the first color until it ran out, and then added the second color until I finished the tee.

It is super easy to change colors wherever you want in the pattern, and keep the mohair the same to grade the colors together, or make the tee in one solid color.
