Vanilla Chilla Light Tee

The Vanilla Chilla Light Tee is the breezy, lighter sister of the original Vanilla Chilla Tee. It has all the same relaxed, timeless energy just worked in a thinner yarn (the original is worked in a DK yarn, the lighter version in a fingering weight). If you want something simple and easy that you could reach for on the hottest days of summer, this is it. Like the original, the piece is worked seamlessly top down in Stockinette Stitch, so you can easily adjust the length to suit your preferences. First, the yoke is worked flat to raise the back, then the yoke continues in the round with classic raglan increases. To finish, the hems, cuffs, and collar are worked to double length, then neatly folded and attached for a clean, polished look. You can customise the sleeve lengths, work them to short or three quarter lengths (or even yh9longer). **Sizes:** XS (S, M, L) ( XL, 2XL, 3XL) (4XL, 5XL) **Finished garment measurements:** a.
