This airy tee has a fabulous thread-covered neckline, created by dropping stitches, held in place by clever decreases. You will have a deep V-neck and yet there’s coverage.
The design is knit bottom-up contiguous, which ensures a perfect fit for shoulders and sleeve caps. It’s knit in the round until the last rows of the shoulder, when you will knit back and forth.
Choose a cool summery yarn, or a smooth merino for winter – it will work equally well.
