Must Make Monday: Radiant Ripples Tee

Must Make Monday: Radiant Ripples Tee

Here at the shop, we’re suckers for a good stripe because the more chances to play with fun color combos, the better! A rainbow-striped tee in cotton just in time for summer? Knock me over – I’m done. Radiant Ripples is offered in both a cropped and full-length version, and is knit from the top down so you can customize this knit to your heart’s content. Additionally, the designer included instructions for two different color options. Option 1 has the main color remain the same throughout the design and alternates the colors of the stripes; option 2 does the opposite, with the stripe color remaining the same throughout and the main color shifting. This design pairs perfectly with Berocco Pima Soft, which is hands down the absolute perfect cotton for all your summer staples. This DK weight yarn is brimming with softness while retaining all the fantastic qualities of high-end pima cotton. Pima Cotton is a cotton variant with extra-long staples, which gives the fibre its signature softness and shine. Pima Soft also comes in the full spectrum of colors, giving you endless options for color combinations. We can’t wait to see what color combinations you come up with to make this sweater shine!
