Rib Tee / Pure Silk

Rib Tee features an all-over ribbed pattern with raglan construction. It is knitted from the top down on circular needles using either 1 strand of Pure Silk, Cotton Merino, or Merino.
Sleeve length and body length can easily be adjusted to your preference. The pattern includes instructions for both a short-sleeved and a long-sleeved version.
Rib Tee is intended to be close-fitting and is therefore designed with negative ease.

The all-over ribbed pattern creates an elastic fabric that stretches widthwise to provide a good fit. The body length will be shorter when worn compared with measurements taken flat.
