Ceci T

The pattern for Ceci T is 25% off through June 2nd, no coupon code necessary. If you manage to snag a kit, don't purchase the pattern, it is included with your kit!

This seamless tee is worked in the round from the bottom up and starts with turned notched hems—elegant and practical. Knit at a loose gauge to create a light and drapey fabric. Ceci T is perfect for transitional layering and multi-seasonal wear. Originally designed for my cruise to South America, it has that effortless-chic vibe that works just about anywhere in the world you visit.

The faux side panels and tidy raglan yoke create a flattering silhouette, while the neckline is the pièce de résistance: a built-in necklace thanks to a sprankle of beads. The sparkle is subtle, but the detail work pops. It’s not in-your-face bling—just eye-catching in all the right ways.

Ceci T gives you options: work the turned hems and neckline in a contrasting color for some playful contrast, or go monochrome for an elegant, understated look. Want a more fitted neckline? Add the optional short rows. Prefer something breezier? Skip them for a clean boatneck vibe.

Ceci T also includes a stitch map for every size, which will make knitting the yoke of your Ceci T a BREEZE!

Thanks to my Ultimate Knitting Cruise attendees who purchased Serena in Uruguay and helped me test knit this beauty!!!
