HOLLISTON TEE

This summer tee, knit in stockinette and punctuated with garter blocks that increase in density from the hem to the flattering V- neck, is casual and comfortable. A simple silhouette and garter stitch neck and armhole edges that are knit along with the body make this a relaxing project - as easy to knit  as it is to wear.
