Cloudbreak Tee

Cloudbreak is the effortless little tee your handmade wardrobe has been waiting for. Knit seamlessly in DK weight yarn, it features clean stockinette styling with a cropped fit that lands just right—finished with a playful scalloped lace hem that’s far easier to knit than it looks. — Easy to wear and endlessly versatile, this is the kind of top that slips effortlessly into your wardrobe and somehow ends up in constant rotation. Dress it up, throw it over denim, layer it under jackets—it just works. — The pattern includes both short and long sleeve options, with lace instructions provided in written and charted formats. The straightforward construction also makes it wonderfully customizable.

All classes will run from 10 to noon.
Note: The classes are only 1 week apart rather than the 2 weeks in between so that we can meet the Shirtees deadline of July 31.

DATES:

  • June 20
  • June 27
  • July 11
  • July 18

We recommend a DK yarn with strong stitch definition—tonal and lightly variegated colorways really let the lace shine. (Heavily speckled or self-striping yarns may compete a bit with the scalloped detail.)
