An ideal summer project for sweater newbies as well as experienced knitters, the Valley Yarns Designer Series Boutique Hopping Tee has an on-trend silhouette and timeless style. This tee is simply shaped with a straight fit through the body, dropped shoulders, integrated short sleeves, and a crew neckline. The pullover body is worked in the round from the bottom up to the underarms, where stitches are cast on to create the sleeves and the back and front are completed separately before being seamed at the shoulders. Garter stitch trims provide a clean frame to the garter rib body and have a go-to top ready for casual outfits from spring through fall. Granville blends Pima cotton with Merino wool to create a yarn that is smooth, soft, and has the benefit of more drape than a cotton-only yarn would have. Stay cool and comfortable in your Boutique Hopping Tee even as the temperatures rise!
