Solstice Tee
This cap sleeve, warm-weather garment is full of details. Lace trim defines each edge while pleats structure the front of the garment. Design includes A-line shaping placed thoughtfully on the Front & Back for just a little bit of easy, flattering swing that is equally adorable on juniors and ladies. Sweater is worked from the bottom up in the round with raglan-style seamless cap sleeves. Shown in Size 4 with 2.5" (6.5 cm) positive ease at full bust. 2-4" (5-10 cm) positive ease is recommended. Design features Magpie Fibers Solstice DK; test knitters used several alternatives such as Berroco Summer Silk, Holst Garn Coast Uld Bomuld, Cascade Yarns Roslyn, Valley Yarns Conway, Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool, Chasing Rabbits Fiber Co. Merino Lux DK & Juniper Moon Farm Zooey. To see these projects knit up, check out my instagram Solstice Tee Tester Highlight reel or view them on Ravelry (button below).
