VIBES tee
VIBES tee
Pattern Construction
VIBES is a circular-yoke tee, worked seamlessly from the top down, allowing you to try it on as you go and easily adjust the finished length to your preference. German short rows are incorporated below the collar, to raise the back of the neck slightly, for a comfortable fit.
VIBES is designed with a short sleeve and a slightly cropped body length, perfect for layering or to pair with your favorite high-waisted skirt or jeans. Cropped not your thing? The body can be easily lengthened / adjusted for your ideal length!
A Stripe Sequence Chart is provided in the pattern.
