Part vintage polo stripe, part tennis sweater, all comfort! The Escape tee features bottom up construction with a gently shaped shirt tail hem that is accented with twisted rib and contrast purl bands. Worked in wide set stripes , the fronts and back are separated and worked flat. The shoulders are joined simply with a contrast color 3 needle bind off. The Escape Tee uses short rows and slipped stitches to offer flexible finishing of both the neck edge and sleeves. Finish both with leaner twisted rib and purl bands that match the hem to add stability.
