Classic Tee

$8.00

Classic Tee is a timeless V-neck pullover with a modern twist that is sure to become a wardrobe staple. Choose short or long sleeves, make it the length you want, and use 2 strands of lace weight yarn or 1 strand of sport or light DK yarn. The cost is often lower when using 2 strands of a lighter weight yarn!

The angled hemline makes it a flattering top for many body types. The V-neck edges are finished as the yoke is worked so there is no need for finishing work after the garment is done. Simply block it and weave in your ends!

Construction is top-down, totally seamless, and with high raglan sleeves that almost look like set-in sleeves. Try it on as you go and make the sleeves and body exactly the length that you want.
