The purpose of this top was to use up some single skeins of Rowan Cotton plus the remainder of Mirasol T’ika. So I didn’t follow the striped pattern of the original tee. Instead, because each skein was about the same yardage, I knit until each skein was gone (or I didn’t have enough left to finish a round), giving me stripes of equivalent width. The final skein of the T’ika was used to finish up the sleeves. I added a few extra rounds of stockinette on the sleeves before starting the edge pattern.

Comfortable to wear, easy to wash, a little heavy because it’s cotton, but I still love it.
