Riptide Tee Kit

Description

Breezy, flattering, and effortlessly elegant, the Riptide Tee is a top-down summer knit that combines beautiful detail with wearable simplicity. The design features an undulating Riptide stitch pattern composed of minimalist eyelets. This elegant stitch pattern frames the neckline and sleeves seamlessly, with the neckline detail flowing gracefully into a soft V-neck that continues through a central panel to the hem, where the tee is finished with charming garter and eyelet accents. The seamless construction and tidy three-needle join at the underarm make for an engaging knit with minimal finishing. With options for straight or subtly shaped waistlines, this semi-cropped tee is as versatile as it is stylish—perfect for layering or wearing on its own during warmer days.

This kit includes &Make DK, a lightweight and airy yarn made from an all-natural blend of Peruvian Highland wool, alpaca, and linen—carefully chosen to enhance the tee’s clean lines and crisp stitch definition. From popping purls to delicate eyelets, this versatile two-ply yarn brings texture and character to every stitch. Whether you're expanding your skills or looking for your next go-to summer knit, the Riptide Tee Kit has everything you need to create something truly special.

As part of the JST Knitwear Riptide Collection, kits are also available in &Make DK for the Riptide Slipover and the Riptide Halter.
