The easy-knit Early Morning Tee is sure to become your new go-to garment. Useful as a breezy stand-alone, a layer, with jeans, a skirt, or whatever…it just works. Constructed top down, short row shaping on shoulders for a perfect fit. Worked in the round from the underarm down in classic stockinette, it’s as simple as, well, a great morning! Fine in natural fibres like linen, cotton, or, as I joyfully discovered, silk. Inspired by Morning Glories that open in the early dewy summer mornings along my flower garden lattice.
