Penelope is a close fitting, bottom up, saddle sleeve tee with vertical stripes worked in fingering weight yarn. The pattern includes bust darts and general guidance for modifying based on your dress cup size. You have the option to finish with a crew neck or mock neck.

Penelope is perfect for trying out bold color combinations. Keep the look subtle with tonal pairing, or go for high contrast to maximize the horizontal and vertical stripe effects.

Worked in fingering weight merino, it’s the perfect transitional top for spring and fall. Try it in a cotton or linen blend for a super light, summer version.
