Intermediate knitting patterns are aimed at knitters who have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and are ready for more challenging patterns. Knitters at this level are expected to be comfortable reading patterns, working with a variety of needle types, and executing more advanced techniques such as cables, lace work, detailed construction methods or intarsia.

Description
The Gentle Spirit Tee captures the essence of lightness and elegance, perfect for breezy days. This seamless, top-down tee features a wide boat neck and delicate lace details across the top. Loosely fitted, yet refined, it offers just the right amount of ease without being too oversized. The front and back are worked separately from the top down to the underarm before being joined to knit the body in the round. With short row shaping for the neck and shoulders and finished with I-cord edging, this tee is as thoughtfully constructed as it is beautiful.
Knit in The Fibre Co.’s Amble, a blend of Easy-wash Merino wool, Easy-wash alpaca, and recycled nylon, the Gentle Spirit Tee offers sustainable luxury. The soft, fingering-weight yarn makes this design both lightweight and incredibly soft. Whether you’re up for exploring a new lacework design or simply want a versatile summer staple, this tee is a perfect choice for an interesting knit and effortless style.
