Candyfloss Tee
A quick, fun knit and an easy favourite to throw on with jeans. The Candyfloss Tee has a relaxed fit that feels comfortable while still looking a little dressed up. Its elongated stitches create a light, subtly translucent fabric, giving the loose shape texture and interest.
The body is worked in the round to the underarm, then divided to work the front and back flat. Three-stitch I-cord edges frame the panels, and the shoulders are joined to create a wide slash neckline.
