The Tamarindo Tee is a playful and light knit with a personal touch, as you can let your creativity run free in the endless color combinations.

The name is a tribute to Tamarindo, a small town on the West-coast of Costa Rica, with a rich and colorful nature. The tee reminds me of the playful spirit of this beautiful place.

The Tamarindo tee is worked top-down in the round. The yoke consists of a repetition of a colorwork pattern, in which every layer gets a different accent color. This makes the tee an ideal project for mini-skeins of yarn or scrap yarn.

Before finishing the yoke, the fit of the tee is enhanced through short row-shaping.
