Foxy Lady Tee
This simple tee is a perfect addition to your hand knit wardrobe! Knit with Farmers Daughters Fibers Foxy Lady, the simple yet addictive stitch pattern simply POPS with this yarn, I love the stitch definition and the drape is just perfect! I knit a second two color version using Purl Soho Linen Quill + Spincycle yarns Dyed in the Wool for a color changing top that goes with just about everything in my closet (one of my favorite parts of knitting with a color changing yarn)…I’ll bet you can’t knit just one of these tops!

Notes
This sweater is knit from the bottom up. The front and back hems are worked flat separately, then joined and worked in the round to the underarms, where the front and back are split again and worked flat separately. Shoulder shaping is worked with short rows in 1 x 1 ribbing, then stitches are bound off for the front and back necks. The shoulders are seamed with three needle bind off technique. The sleeves are picked up and finished with a short ribbed band.
