The Brightbay T-Shirt Sweater is a classic and timeless tee that’s perfect for spring and summer. Make it in lightweight cotton or cozy wool for cooler months. It’s knit from the top down, making it easy to adjust the body. The set-in sleeves provide a tailored fit and the perfect amount of shaping, giving the sweater a more polished and refined look. The sleeves are knit by picking up stitches and making short rows to create a beautiful sleeve cap.
