Oread by Audrey Borrego

This pattern is electronic and will be sent to you directly from Ravelry.

Oread is a simple drop shoulder tee knitted from the top down featuring panels of twisted stitches on the front and back sides. It starts with the shoulders and the upper body worked flat with a round neck shaping that can easily be adjusted to a lower scoop neckline. The body can be worked flat and seamed or joined in the round.
The basic construction and comfortable ease makes for a light flowy garment best worked with drapey yarns.
