The NOLI Stripey Tee is a stylish, modern T-shirt featuring a cool, contemporary boxy fit. Designed with clean lines, a minimalist character, and ultimate wearing comfort in mind, this is the perfect everyday wardrobe staple. The tee stands out with its beautiful, rhythmic stripe pattern in three deep colors and a striking silhouette: a wonderfully comfortable, wide body paired with perfectly proportioned, straight short sleeves.

This shirt is knitted using DROPS Merino Extra Fine (100% merino wool). This yarn gives the tee an incredibly soft texture, a luxurious look, and a fluid drape that moves beautifully with the relaxed silhouette.The tee is knitted completely seamlessly from the top down using a clever raglan construction, ensuring a completely seamless knitting experience. To give the shirt a flawless, high-quality finish, we start with a crochet provisional cast-on for a gorgeous, voluminous folded neckband. The body and sleeves are finished with a super neat double knitted border and an elastic Italian bind-off for that ultimate, professional ‘store-bought’ look. The pattern includes clear, step-by-step instructions and a link to a handy video tutorial to invisibly weave in your yarn tails as you knit!
