For those who have mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to expand their skills. Patterns may introduce slightly more complex techniques and patterns, such as shaping, increasing, decreasing or working multiple colors or easy lace patterns. The yarn weight may vary, and the patterns might introduce working with double-pointed needles or circular needles.

Description
Designed by Dora Creadora, this simple summer tee draws inspiration from sailing ropes. The construction ensures a flattering fit at the neckline, which is the focal point of the garment. The simplicity of the design and the timeless stripes make it easy to wear and combine with other wardrobe staples like high-waisted trousers, skirts or over dresses.
Yarn:
The Fibre Co. Luma (50% Merino wool, 25% organic cotton, 15% linen, 10% silk, 125 m (137 yd) per 50 g hank) – 7–12 hanks.
Colors:
We collaborated with Dora to curate the additional colorway options shown above.
Dora knit her sweater (shown in the modeled photos) with main color Luma Blanca and 3 contrasting shades of DK yarn leftovers. If you would like to do the same, you will need 4 [5: 5: 6: 6: 7: 8: 9: 9] hanks of Luma for the MC and approximately 50 to 150 g of DK weight yarn from your stash for the CC stripe sections.
You could even make the tee in just one color, with 5 [7: 7: 8: 8: 9: 11: 12: 12] hanks of Luma.
