Wave Tee

The Wave Tee is a relaxed, easy-wearing tee worked seamlessly top-down with a wide boat neck. Short rows raise the back neck for a better fit, and the yoke is shaped first with sleeve increases, then raglan increases, before the body continues in the round in stockinette stitch. Choose between a short sleeve or long sleeve finish — both options are included in the pattern. With just 2 out of 5 for difficulty, this is a wonderfully approachable project that knits up quickly in a chunky cotton or linen yarn.
