Sunday Tee by Petite Knit in Linen

A cool, elegant everyday tee with beautiful drape — knitted in our breathable linen–viscose–cotton blend.

The Sunday Tee is one of those simple-but-beautiful designs that sits effortlessly in your wardrobe. Worked top down with a circular yoke, gentle shaping, and PetiteKnit’s signature clean lines, it creates a soft, relaxed summer tee you’ll reach for again and again.

You’ll begin with the ribbed circular yoke, shaped with increases for a smooth fit across the shoulders. Short rows raise the back slightly for comfort and better drape. The body and sleeves are then worked in the round in stockinette stitch, and everything is finished with elegant folded hems.

To make this the perfect warm-weather knit, we’ve paired the pattern with our linen–viscose–cotton blend — a stunning wool-free option for anyone who wants a breathable, natural-fibre tee with gorgeous movement and drape.

Why This Yarn Is Ideal for the Sunday Tee

This blend behaves beautifully in summer garments:

• 150m per 50g — creates a smooth, elegant stockinette fabric
