Ironwork Tee
Disponible en anglais et en français
A cropped length and oversized fit combined with geometric colorwork give this tee a modern vibe. In cooler summer climates it makes a great summer top, while in warmer climates it works as a lightweight layer in the transitional seasons.
The body of the tee is worked in the round from the bottom up from hem to underarm; the front and back are then divided and worked flat individually. The shoulders are joined with a 3-needle bind-off. The sleeves and neckline are picked up from the body and worked in the 
round.
