Talulahtee

TALULAH is a cropped summer tee with an easy and addictive stitch pattern that knits upsuper fast. Just like when knitting stripes you will want to finish just one more repeat.

The TALULAH Tee has an easy seamless construction and is perfectly suited for beginner knitters. It is worked in the round from the bottom up. Then a few stitches are bound off at the underarms and the front and the back are work flat separately. TALULAH features a timeless round neckline and fits perfectly because the shoulders are shaped with short rows. After the shoulder seams are closed with the Three Needle Bind-Off, stitches for the sleeves are picked up and the sleeves are worked in the round from the top down.

TALULAH Tee is made from my all time favorite summer yarn: a lovely blend of cotton, viscose and linen which has an extraordinarily pretty drape and is super soft to the skin.
