Ida Tee

Ida Tee Knitting Pattern

Meet the Ida Tee — a beautifully textured top-down knit that pairs rich stripe contrasts with elegant construction. Worked seamlessly from the neck down, the yoke begins flat as you shape the neckline, then joins in the round for smooth raglan increases on your circular needle. A neatly ribbed neck edge, picked up and knitted at the finish, frames the whole design with quiet refinement.

Whether you reach for a whisper-soft cashmere or a luminous silk-mohair blend, the Ida Tee rewards your choice of yarn with a drape and depth that makes each wearable stripe feel considered and fresh.
