-Nightshade-

This is a simple but effective tee that’s worked bottom up. The top begins with a sweet ower bud ribbing, which looks
very much like the Nightshade ower, followed by lots of mindless stockinette stitch that’s knitted in the round until
you get to the armhole. Then, sleeves are worked and added in, and the raglan decreases begin. The nal touch is a
simple crewneck. The unique property of the Nublado DK yarn creates the most interesting shading, which brings the
simplicity of this piece to a whole new level of wonderful!
