Forbidden Cliffs Tee

$8.00

Forbidden Cliffs: “A secret place for good reason (it’s dangerous as hell) - it is one of the stranger and more startlingly beautiful places on all of Oregon’s Coast.” (Courtesy of Oregon Coast Beach Connection)

Forbidden Cliffs is the perfect top to knit up fast for warmer weather or to layer under a sweater or jacket. The slip-stitch colorwork at the neckline is easy and uses only one color per round.

The wide neckline is shaped by short rows and the gentle shirt-tail hemline is flattering on many figure types and makes for comfortable wearing.

Construction is top-down and in the round in a completely seamless manner. It starts with a circular yoke for easy colorwork and transitions into raglan seams for best fit (and the ability to raise your arms without exposing everything). There is no finishing to be done at the end except for weaving in a few ends!

This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.
