Notes from the Designer:
This is a simple but effective tee that’s worked bottom up. The top begins with a sweet flower bud ribbing, which looks very much like the Nightshade flower, followed by lots of mindless stockinette stitch that’s knitted in the round until you get to the armhole. Then, sleeves are worked and added in, and the raglan decreases begin. The final touch is a simple crewneck. The unique property of the Nublado DK yarn creates the most interesting shading, which brings the simplicity of this piece to a whole new level of wonderful!
