Chain Tee is a lightweight, seamless knit tee featuring a unique faux cable stitch called the chain stitch pattern. Worked in the round from the bottom up, this summer-ready top uses simple yarn overs and a modified center double decrease (MCDD) to create vertical chain motifs that add beautiful texture without bulk. Short row shaping at the neckline helps it sit just right, and two video tutorials are included to walk you through both the MCDD and https://amandammorse.com/how-to-knit-the-mcdd-stitch-purl...

If you’ve enjoyed the Chain Ankle Socks, Chain Bonnet, or Chain Beanie, this tee rounds out the set beautifully! Looking for more summer tops? Try the Deborah Tee or Puff Sleeve Tee next!
