Designed by Claudia Q

As a child in El Salvador, I used to make kites with my friends. We cut out large pieces of cardboard and glued beautiful bits of paper onto them. Piscucha Tee reminds me of those windy days full of laughter. Wear it on its own, or with a long-sleeved shirt underneath — it is perfect for any weather!

The tee is knit from the top down with circular yoke.
A section of short rows is worked at the bottom of the yoke to create the small capped sleeves. The bottom hem has optional side split openings.
