SEASHORE BREEZE TEE

Seashore Breeze Tee is a drop-shoulder oversized boxy breezy tee, featuring a landscape of the textured stitches synonymous with The Sea Collection of patterns. This pattern is worked top-down in the addictive Seashore stitch patterns, making it a joy to knit!

With 11 sizes ranging from 101 - 180cm/ 40.5 - 72” (finished chest circumference) this #sizeinclusive Tee is sure to have a sweet spot for everyone!

Seashore Breeze is worked in one seamless piece from the top down. Commencing with the back, the neck and shoulders are shaped using German Short Rows, and then the back is worked flat to the underarms. Front shoulder stitches are then picked up from the back cast-on edge, and the front is worked flat to the same back length. At the underarms, stitches are increased, and the front and back are then joined for working in the round.
The large airy sleeves are picked up and worked from the sleeve edges to a slight tapered finish.

It has full written instructions along with several charts.
