Introduction

This fitted, slightly cropped tee features a classic cable body and a high neck. It is worked seamlessly from the bottom-up and utilises a 3 needle bind off for the shoulders. The short sleeves and mock neck are picked up from the main body and finished in 1x1 rib for a stretchy finish. Knitted in a wool-blend, this tee is surprisingly not too warm for the spring and summer seasons, but it’s also perfect for layering over long sleeved tops for transitional styling!
