Champagne Shards is a knit tee where bold color-block facets shimmer into a flattering silhouette. Gentle wrap-and-turn short rows carve each angled shard, adding sculptural drama with a surprisingly easy rhythm. Side-to-side flow and whisper-light seams keep every stitch meditative, letting the yarn do all the talking. A crisp contrast neckline finishes the look with a quiet pop of sparkle. Slip it over jeans for daytime polish or let it toast the night on its own. Wherever you wear it, Champagne Shards delivers contemporary elegance wrapped in the joy of rhythmic making.

Construction Overview
The Champagne Shards tee is first worked flat side-to-side, creating two identical pieces (Front and Back). A series of simple wrap & turn short rows in garter stitch form each wedge. Then, stitches are picked up along the top of each piece and a contrasting strip is knitted, forming the Neck and Shoulders. Next, the two pieces are seamed at the shoulder with a mattress stitch. The sides are then sewn together. Once assembly is complete, stitches are picked up around the bottom and trim added.

Skill Level: Intermediate—Short rows (W&T); pickup and knit; seaming
