Must Make Monday: Sunshine Tee

Must Make Monday: Sunshine Tee

We are on a kick here in space as we continue to both think of brighter, warmer days and celebrate wardrobe staples. We believe the Sunshine Tee will become your quintessential warm-weather knit. This elegant design has short-row shaping at the neck, short-row top-down sleeve caps, and optional bust darts for an exceptional fit. And, because it’s knit top-down, you can try it on and make adjustments as you go. Additionally, the folded hems and collar pair perfectly with less elastic (read: non-wool!) yarns, creating a simple and clean finish. It really is the perfect basic tee. Offered in both cropped and full-length, we can’t wait to knit these in all our favorite colors.
