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.
