Rib Tee / Cotton Merino
This pattern can only be purchased together with yarns
Rib Tee features an all-over rib pattern with raglan construction. It is knitted from the top down on circular needles using a single strand of either 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.
