Designed by Rachel BrockmanOne of the joys of summer is the rainbow of beautiful wildflowers that add sparks of joy to your daily commute. Echinacea, chicory, aster, and daisies are just a few that paint summer fields in beautiful colors. These splashes of summery hues remind us of the specks and flecks of color in our smooth, soft, Cotton Supreme Speckles yarn, and inspired us to make the perfect, quick-knit tee for the season. The Wildflower Tee features reverse stockinette stitch throughout, which adds a touch of texture and interest to this simple tee. Tidy ribbing trims the edges of this cap-sleeve top, and it’s finished with a thoughtful folded neckband.

The front and back are separated at the underarms and worked flat. Increases are worked to shape the cap sleeves. Stitches are picked up and worked in the round for the sleeve edging and neckband. Finally, the neckband is folded and sewn down to the picked-up edge during finishing.
