Nivaria Tee
Nivaria Tee is a seamless top-down tee featuring a delicate textured lace motif, a flattering V-neck and clean, modern lines.
The stitch pattern creates vertical columns that add texture and visual interest while remaining easy to wear and style. Combined with the relaxed silhouette and softly structured shoulders, Nivaria is designed to become a versatile summer staple that feels equally at home with linen trousers, denim or flowing skirts.
The tee begins with an i-cord neckline worked at the back neck. The shoulders and neckline are shaped with Japanese short rows, creating a refined fit and elegant shoulder line. The fronts are then worked separately while shaping the V-neck before being joined at the center front. Once the armhole depth is complete, the body is joined and worked in the round to the hem in the Nivaria stitch pattern.
The combination of smooth stockinette and textured lace creates a lightweight fabric with beautiful drape, making Nivaria an ideal project for warm-weather knitting.
Designed to be worn with approximately 15–25 cm / 6–10” of positive ease.
