Nibiru
Enjoy 20% off the Nibiru Tee pattern until July 17th.
No coupon needed.
Nibiru Tee is worked seamlessly from the top down, entirely in the round. You begin by knitting the yoke, which features a beautiful lace pattern. Once the yoke is complete, the stitches are divided for the body and sleeves, and the garment is continued downwards. The sleeves are finished off with just a few rounds for a light, summery touch.
While the pattern suggests a specific yarn, you’re welcome to substitute it with any yarn of a similar weight that suits your preferences. You can also modify the sleeve length—feel free to add long sleeves if you wish and are comfortable making the necessary adjustments.
