Petal Wrap Tee

Welcome to the world of blooming creativity with my Petal Wrap Tee! This delightful short sleeve tee draws inspiration from the freshness of spring and the beauty of flowers. The intricately designed scalloped neckline mirrors the delicate petals, while the round yoke showcases a mesmerizing pattern of twisted and wrapped stitches, transitioning seamlessly to a simple reverse stockinette on the body and sleeves (no purling required as you will be knitting on the wrong side). The range of ease across sizes is 29 cm/11.5” The picture shows size 3 with 29 cm/11.5” of positive ease.
