ABOUT
BANISTER is an elegant summer design that offers options for both long and short sleeves, allowing you to create either a relaxed tee or a lightweight sweater – perfect for cooler summer evenings and mornings.
The inspiration for this design goes all the way back to my childhood. Every detail is inspired by the staircase of the mid-century apartment building I grew up in. The textured hem and cuffs reflect the structure of the banister, while the zigzag raglan lines echo the shape of the stairs.

Fit
Banister has a relaxed, shaped fit on the body with fitted sleeves and a gently scooped neck. The soft and drapey summer yarn makes the shirt easy to wear, even directly on the skin.

Techniques
Latvian braids, raglan increases and Japanese short rows.
