A Churchmouse Yarns and Teas Pattern - Sideways Tee (PDF)

From Churchmouse: A clever design with a deceptively simple, classic result. This tee is equally comfortable worn alone in a cool plant fiber or as a popover in a woollier yarn. The tapered shape allows for plenty of ease at the bust, while providing a relaxed and flattering bottom edge at hip length. The sideways approach lends a modern pivot to a familiar style.

Craft: Knitting.

Designer: Churchmouse Yarns
