Beide

Beide is the German word for "both" and, in addition to being a pretty word that bounces off the tongue like sunlight bouncing off water, is a concept that describes this summer tee nicely. Why? The top combines both cables and lace. It has both circular knitting and flat knit sections. The sample yarn is a pairing of both cotton and bamboo. And it pairs well with both formal skirts and informal shorts! Interesting features include the placement of a single braided cable with eyelets along the sides of the tee, then an overall pattern of the braided cable and eyelets along the sleeves. The eyelets are repeated in the ribbing at the hem, short sleeve cuffs, and shallow scoop neckline.

Originally published in the Twists and Turns newsletter, this pattern is now available directly from the designer. The designer's version has been reworked, including new photography and re-editing.
