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.
