Metro Tee is part of a small design collaboration between Nidhi Kansal (knidhiknits) and me. We each imagined a garment that would be a useful layer for transitional weather, whether moving from one season to another or simply going between air-conditioned rooms and hot days outside.

♡ This tee features double-knit details at the neckline and button plackets. If desired, these sections may be substituted with 1 × 1 ribbing.
♡ The placket length is approximately 3” / 8 cm and 2 buttons and buttonholes are placed on the placket. Optionally, you can omit the buttons and buttonholes creating a slightly more open, subtle sweetheart shaped neckline.
