Description
An original Tee pattern by Andrea Yetman♥
''This tee was inspired by Biscotte’s Varigated Yarn called Clafouti. I wanted to play with a varigated yarn and use it in a way that would really make the color stand out. This is a very engaging knit, with a 2 color Corrugated Ribbing knit in Stranded Colorwork. The neckline features a 2x2 ribbing with a little Short row shaping and an I-cord edge at the arm opening. There is no shaping at the body for a very relaxed fit and it is finished off with a 2x2 ribbed hem.'' -Andrea
