Skagen Tee
£6.95
Skagen Tee has a loose fit and features a simple pattern of
cables worked in columns creating a modern look on a classic
shape. The cable columns are easy to work and do not require
a cable needle, so this is a fun knit with a unique effect.
Charts are used to work the yoke back and forth to establish
the pattern before working in the round. Stitches are picked up
around the armhole for the sleeves, which are worked in the
same cable pattern as the body. All edges are worked in rib
and bound off using the Italian Bind-off technique. Finally,
stitches are picked up and knitted in rib along the neck edge.
