Knitting For Olive | Ribbed Tee Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Everyday Essential with a Perfect Fit
Simple, stylish, and endlessly wearable — the Ribbed Tee is a wardrobe staple designed for comfort and flexibility. Featuring a clean raglan construction and a flattering allover ribbed texture, this tee hugs the body with just the right amount of stretch.
Knit from the top down in the round, the pattern is worked using a single strand of Knitting for Olive Merino, creating a beautifully elastic fabric that moves with you. Designed with negative ease, the Ribbed Tee is intended to be close-fitting, with the ribbing gently adapting to your shape.
Both short-sleeve and long-sleeve options are included, and with easy length customisation for sleeves and body, this tee can be tailored to suit your personal style, whether you prefer a cropped look or a bit more coverage.
The Ribbed Tee offers a satisfying, meditative knit with a polished result, perfect for layering or wearing on its own through the seasons!
