Must Make Monday: Sintara Tee

Must Make Monday: Sintara Tee

We love a textured top, and the Sintara tee absolutely delivers. With its all-over pattern and contrasting stockinette sleeves, the design is both simple and meditative to knit. Knit flat to form the back neck and shoulders, and then joined in the round at the front neckline for a comfortable unisex fit. The body and sleeve length are also entirely customizable – if you want more length, you simply need a little more yarn. We think the all-over pattern will absolutely shine in the recent arrival to space – Shoreline Sport (50% Shaniko wool/25% silk/25% linen) by Seachange. The blend of wool, linen, and silk makes for an elevated elegance while becoming an ultra-versatile yarn for the perfect 3 season top.  The textured sweater will show off the innate highs and lows of the hand-dyed yarn, and the drape of the resulting fabric will make this the perfect wardrobe piece to go from boardroom to boardwalk.
