Ocean’s Edge T-shirt
Ocean’s Edge Tee is a relaxed-fit, seamless knitted tee that features delicate eyelet detailing at the waist and sleeves, offering an enjoyable knit for confident beginners and experienced makers alike.
Knitted in breathable cotton yarn, lightweight, comfortable and designed for warm-weather wardrobes. Delicate eyelet details around the waist and sleeves add a subtle decorative touch, echoing the textures of sea foam and shoreline treasures without overwhelming the clean, modern silhouette.
CONSTRUCTION
The Ocean’s Edge Tee is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. The front and back worked flat from the underarm, and finished using the Three Needle Bind Off for a neat shoulder seam. Stitches are picked up around the neckline to create a rolled neckband. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, which are worked in the round.
Decorative eyelet panels are incorporated at the waist and sleeve hems, creating a light, feminine detail that complements the simplicity of the stocking stitch fabric.
