The Vanilla Chilla Tee was born out of a desire for a basic t-shirt that could be worn during the warmer seasons. I wanted something that would be relaxing and comfortable to both knit and wear—timeless, simple, and made for chilling in (hence the name!). After all, vanilla ice cream never goes out of style, and neither does a really good basic tee.
The piece is worked seamlessly top down in Stockinette stitch, so you can easily adjust the length to suit your preferences. First, the yoke is worked flat to raise the back, then the yoke continues in the round with classic raglan increases. To finish, the hems, cuffs, and collar are worked to double length, then neatly folded and attached for a clean, polished look.

The Sweet Breeze top is a simple and modern top worked top down seamlessly. It's a Summer wardrobe staple that's comfortable to wear due to the wide shoulders and high collar - you won't get too hot and don't have to worry about bra straps showing - a win win situation!
This is an easy breezy project in Stockinette Stitch - relaxing to sit and knit while sipping a cold drink or some gelato in the sunshine 🍧.
The top is worked top-down seamlessly. The work begins by working the back yoke flat, then stitches are picked up from the right and left shoulder for the front. The front and back are then joined together and worked in the round for the body. Stitches are picked up for the ribbed armholes and collar and worked in the round.

The Wavy Babe Top pairs a clean, minimal silhouette with a refined cable texture. Inspired by the movement of rolling waves, the twisted cables flow across the fabric, creating a soft yet structured pattern. Light and versatile, this top is perfect for a breezy beach walk, a chic city lunch, or a quiet day at home.
It is knitted from the bottom up, with cables worked over three stitches. The construction allows you to work the cables without a cable needle—simply knit the third stitch directly from the back to create the wave-like twists. The front and back are identical, with the neckline shaped through gradual decreases for a balanced, seamless look.
