Intersecting is a top-down, yoked tee that features eye-catching colourwork around the shoulders, creating a geometric pattern that is later echoed above the sleeve cuffs and waistband. Short row shaping is incorporated into the yoke and upper body, and this, combined with the fingering weight yarn and positive ease, ensures a comfortable, draped fit.

Sizing Guide
Intersecting is graded into 9 sizes, identified as XS (S: M: L: XL) (2XL: 3XL: 4XL: 5XL). Intended positive ease is 2-6” at the chest.
