This boxy, dropped shoulder tee by Klara Nilsson is knitted flat from the bottom up. It is slightly cropped and has a folded hem on both the body and the sleeves, which are knitted flat and then sewn on to the body. Most of the piece is knitted in plain stockinette with some small sections of intarsia to make the top of the clouds, which makes it a perfect project if you want to try out the technique for the first time. Berta by Permin, which is a mix of cotton and wool, is perfect for sunny spring days.
