Summertime...Sweater Weather?
We spent the weekend in our wardrobe closet, rotating winter knits out and summer knits in and uncovered this little gem. The Construction Zone tee is a modern, minimalist top that's all about shoulder details and big gauge fabric! It has a simple, slightly cropped boxy shape and knits up in no time! Ours is worked up in Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus, a cloud-like worsted warm-weatehr-friendly (mostly) cotton with a chainette construction...with just a touch of nylon for stability and strength. No plants were killed during this modeling session, though that's mainly because Meg didn't buy any.
