woodblock

Drawing inspiration from the carved motifs and repeated impressions of woodblock prints, this versatile tee brings polish and ease to your spring wardrobe. Worked circularly from the hem to the armholes, short rows refine the shoulder fit while the structure is reinforced with a joinery bind off. Sleeves are picked up and knit circularly, and finished with folded cuffs pressed flat during blocking. Cleverly–concealed finishing details allow this charming piece to be fully reversible. The buoyant drape of Peerie’s springy Merino enhances this easy wearing tee, making it an ideal layering piece for those blustery spring days.
