The Summer Scoop is a simple, boxy tee featuring interrupted garter stitch, which creates a striping effect. The front neckline is a gentle scoop neck and the back dips lower. Knit in Purl Soho’s Picnic Cotton yarn, which is available in a variety of colors, the main color of the yarn is wrapped around a white core, creating a marled effect in the knit fabric. The Summer Scoop is the perfect summer knitting project to bring along on your adventures or to layer over a bathing suit for a trip to the beach!
