Calliope tee
Calliope was the muse of epic poetry and the name means “a beautiful voice.” The Calliope tee matches the Calliope pullover which is published in my book “Softly - Timeless knits”.
The Calliope tee is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. A beautiful lace pattern is worked on the yoke. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. The back is shaped with short-rows to give it a bit more length and to improve the fit.
