I designed Skye as the perfect weekend tee: with a casual feel that can pair with pyjamas for slow mornings relaxing with coffee, but polished enough to pair with jeans for a leisurely neighbourhood stroll. Its minimal silhouette and textured stitch make for simple knitting and styling. Two ends of lace weight yarn are used to create this squishy and bouncy fabric: look for an animal-based fibre or an animal/plant mix that will drape well.

Construction Notes

•The shoulders are seamed using the 3-Needle Bind-Off.
•Stitches are picked up around the armhole circumference and the sleeve is worked in the round, top down.
•Stitches around the neck and picked up for a garter stitch trim.
