**Spend $25 or more in my Ravelry shop in one transaction and you will automatically receive 25% off your entire purchase!** Named for the town near [Caprock Canyons State Park][1] in Texas (Pronounced “kitty-quay”) because I noticed that my tee looked like the [red sandstone with satin spar gypsum bands][2] that we saw while hiking there this spring. This fully customizable summer top is an easy, low-key knit. Worked in the round to the arms from the bottom up, the upper front and back are knit separately and then 3-needle bind-offs are used to join the shoulders. You pick the circumference and the length and then stripe (or not) as you please. Instructions are given to figure a yardage estimate when knit at the pattern gauge. You can work at a different gauge, but your yardage will not follow the given equation. **Skills required** Long-tail cast-on Knitting in the round Decreases 3-needle bind-off **Materials** Fingering- or sport-weight yarn in a linen, cotton, silk, or a blend works best (“bouncy” yarns like 100% wool will need an edge treatment at the bottom hem to control rolling) US3/3.25mm circular needles or size needed to obtain gauge. Choose a length that is smaller than your desired circumference Second set of the same size needles (any length cable) for holding half of the stitches and working the 3-needle bind-offs Stitch markers Measuring tape Tapestry needle for weaving in ends Pattern chat thread is [here][3] if you have questions or want to share photos! *Sample was knit in Quince & Co. Sparrow in Penny with stripes in Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy in White Bread. Modeled with 2" of positive ease.* [1]: https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/caprock-canyons [2]: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-gypsum-veins-caprock-canyons-state-park-texas-usa-47356253.html [3]: https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/fogbound-knits/topics/4365471
