Kette Tee

All patterns are available for purchase through Ravelry. Please visit the Ravelry page for details.

“Kette” means necklace in German. This tee dresses up everyday summer clothes in a subtle way. This design was inspired by SOLE by Pascuali, Germany. The back of the tee is knit first with increases, then the front stitches are picked up separately along each shoulder, then joined after the V-neck slope shaping. The back and front are joined at the underarm, then, after the underarm slope is formed with decreases, knit all the way around to the hem with gradual tapering. You can choose from narrow and relaxed armhole edges.

This pattern has been technically edited and test knitted.
