Reveriestee
REVERIES is a wonderfully light and soft summer tee with a marvellous drape. Made from pure silk, it is a timeless and elegant garment that is easy to wear and layer.
The cable and eyelet details at the neckline and hem of the body and sleeves add that certain something to this easy-to-work Stockinette project.
REVERIES is worked seamlessly from the top down. You first cast on stitches for the neckband and shape the neckline with short rows. Then you work a circular yoke, split for body and sleeves and cast on a few extra stitches at the underarm for a perfect fit. The body and the sleeves are then worked in the round.
