Notes

So excited about this tee. And I’m knitting this for me…just because. :-)

It’s all done! So cute! I love the look of the 2 stitch i-cord bind off. It’s really great for the neckline preventing it from stretching out of shape. Not so good for the sleeves and bottom hem. As a result, the sleeve openings are a little snug. I’m hoping my full wet block will fix that. For the bottom ribbing I used a US 6 for the 2 stitch i-cord bind off resulting in a much stretchier bind off.

This yarn softened up so much after blocking…it’s heavenly soft now! A smaller knitter could easily finish this tee with just 2 skeins of yarn. I only need the second skein of MC for the last 5 rows of ribbing and the i-cord bind off.

--13 rounds of ribbing on neck
--8 rounds of ribbing on the sleeves
--15 rounds of ribbing for the waist
