Description

The Classic Ribbed Tee by Kay Hopkins is a timeless scoop neck pullover with a modern, customizable twist. Knit seamlessly from the top down with flattering raglan sleeves, it features a clean ribbed texture that flatters all body types. Options for sleeve length (long or short), hemline shape (straight, shirt-tail, or angled), and an optional pocket let you tailor the tee to your style. A clever faux I-Cord finish on the neckline adds a refined touch without fuss. The hemline and sleeves offer flexible finishing options: stick with the I-Cord edge for a clean, cohesive look, or opt for a classic knitwise bind-off. This adaptable, wearable piece is perfect for adventurous beginners and seasoned makers alike, and provides year-round comfort for many years to come.

This kit includes Road to China Light, a luxurious sport-weight blend of baby alpaca, silk, camel, and cashmere. With an elegant sheen and soft drape, the yarn enhances the ribbing’s texture and the garment’s fluid silhouette, offering lightweight warmth and exceptional softness.
