Fingering weight, seamless, with that gorgeous v-neck we love from the [Pullover](https://ravel.me/alchemist-pullover) and [Slipover](https://ravel.me/alchemist-slipover), now in the easiest, most wearable form yet. Pull it on with your favorite jeans, layer it under a cardigan, throw it on and go. Short and long sleeve options included. Easy topdown knit, seamless contiguous construction and a beautifully ribbed v-neck collar with a special center detail. --- ### **Design Details** The v-neck is the moment. Deep enough to feel a little sexy, finished with ribbing and a center detail that pulls it all together. The shoulders fit so beautifully, the body is relaxed and easy, and the optional split hem at the hip adds a modern touch. It's the tee you reach for without thinking, a real wardrobe workhorse to knit now and wear forever. --- ### **Pattern Highlights** - A beautiful v-neck with ribbed collar and center detail - Topdown, seamless contiguous construction for a set-in-sleeve fit with no seaming - Optional split hem in 2x2 ribbing - Short and long sleeve options included - Fingering weight wears beautifully and goes with everything --- ### **Construction Overview** Alchemist Tee is worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke begins flat with shoulder shaping and v-neck shaping, using a contiguous method that creates set-in-sleeve style shaping without any seaming. Once the yoke is complete, stitches are split for the sleeves and the body is joined to work in the round. The body is worked in stockinette down to the hem, finished with a split hem in 2x2 ribbing. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round in stockinette, finished in matching 2x2 ribbing. Short and long sleeve instructions are both included. The neckline is finished by picking up stitches and working a 2x2 ribbed v-neck collar with a beautiful center detail. --- ### **Yarn Notes** We knit our sample in Plies and Hellhounds Nectar Fingering Weight in Moonseed, a merino-yak-silk blend with beautiful drape and a subtle sheen that really suits the stockinette. Colorway: Moonseed Fiber: 60% Superwash Merino, 20% Yak, 20% Silk Yardage: 400 yds (366 m) per 100g skein Any fingering weight yarn with good drape will work beautifully here, wool or wool-blend recommended. Tonal and solid colorways show the v-neckline and shoulder shaping best. Heavily variegated or self-striping yarns may compete with the construction details.
