The Sage tee has a boxy fit and dropped shoulders. It is knitted seamlessly top-down in Stockinette stitch. The tee has a v-neck with i-cord edges that are knitted at the same time as the fronts for a clean and minimalistic look. The sleeve edges and the hem are folded double in the end to add a bit of structure and a neat, finished look.

The Sage tee is started at the back neck and increased to the full width of the back. Then stitches are picked up for the shoulders and worked as the front of the tee. The front and back are joined at the underarm and the body is then worked in the round. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the body and the sleeves are worked in the round with a bit of short-row shaping at the sleeve caps to improve the fit.

For a summer tee I would recommend a cotton, silk, viscose or linen blend, for a warmer wintery version choose yarn with high wool content.

The length of the body and sleeves are easily modified to suit your own body measurements. I recommend trying the tee on every now and then while working on it to make sure you get the perfect length for your style.
