The Relax Tee Mini is a tee for ages 2-14 with gentle purled ridges. It’s designed as a child-sized companion for the grown up Relax Tee so that you can knit a matching set.

Rippling garter ridges flow across this lovely top for an extra touch of visual and textural interest.

Worked top down, this is a satisfying knit, and the pattern comes with a raglan tracker so you are guided through the compound raglan.
