This pattern is available on Ravelry . Nothing says summer like a perfect little t-shirt. This is the season that calls for relaxed fits, breathable v-necks, and tees that are lighter than a bayside breeze. Our By the Bay tee fits all this, well…to a tee! The sleeves are rolled, creating a loose cuff, and the hem looks terrific either falling straight and relaxed, or with a jaunty little tuck into your waistband. We've chosen Plucky Lodge Fingering for our samples because it is the perfect recipe for a summer knit, combining the breathability of merino, the drape of linen and silk, and the airiness of cotton. But any fingering weight will be lovely! The only question is whether or not one tee will be enough!
