Foxberry tee

The Foxberry tee got its name from the shape of the lace pattern, which I think looks like little fox faces stacked on one another and the small bobbles remind me of berries.

The Foxberry tee is a short-sleeved version of my popular Foxberry pullover pattern. It is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. The back is shaped with short-rows to give it a bit more length and to improve the fit. For a summer version I would recommend a cotton, viscose or linen blend, for a warmer wintery version choose yarn with high wool content.

Options are given for both big bobbles and small bobbles as with my original Foxberry pullover.
