Ivy Tee Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Ivy Tee
The Ivy Tee is a lightweight summer staple, knit seamlessly from the top down in one piece. The yoke features structured shoulder increases, sleeve shaping, and classic raglan construction, all enhanced with neckline short rows for a comfortable fit. With a simple stockinette body and minimal finishing, this tee is an excellent project for intermediate knitters looking to expand their top-down garment skills. Designed with gentle negative ease, it creates a flattering silhouette that hugs the body lightly.
