Just like delicious chocolate truffles, this drop shoulder top is bite sized and simple, yet still luxurious. This quick-knit beginner friendly pattern is straightforward, and the finished product can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Video tutorials and images are included for visual assistance :)

The Sweet Truffle Tee is worked top down beginning with the upper back. Then, the shoulders are picked up and knit, continuing to work the chest. Next, the lower body and hem are knit. The sleeves are worked by picking up sts at either side and knit in stockinette, ending with the cuffs. Lastly, the neckband is knit in twisted 1x1 rib.
