| Description | Quiet Waters Tee is a drop shoulder style tee that is worked from the top down. The upper back, left and right shoulders are worked flat until the underarm when the front and back are joined together to work the lower body in the round. Increases are worked on each side of a designated “seam” stitch to create the A-line shaping to the hem. The hem is finished with an Applied Lace Bind-off resembling a wave pattern. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round. The neck edge and sleeve cuff are finished with an I-cord Bind-off. Quiet Waters Tee is intended to be worn more fitted in the chest with the A-line shaping allowing for a gentle drape and looser fit when it hits the top of the hips. Select a size closest to your full chest measurement with between 0 – 2” / 0 – 5 cm positive ease. |
