Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2009: “Sui’s soigne take on the wear-anywhere T-shirt turns a seasonal mainstay into a show-stopper. Knit in a variety of textures - trinity stitch, plus several cable and lace patterns - it gets extra dimension from a kicky little collar and two strands of blue-white ‘Cotton Soft’ by Mondial/Trendsetter Yarns.”
