Knit at a looser gauge, the Feliz Popover is a relaxed, ribbed tee in our sportweight merino-modal blend, Feliz! The Feliz Popover is knit in one of our of new-for-Spring colors: Pistaccio.

The Feliz Popover is knit front the bottom up. Fully fashioned cable decreases at the neck and armholes create beautiful detailing. A simple edging treatment gives the tee a sophisticated finish!

GAUGE

28 sts and 28 rows/rnds = 4”/10 cm in 2x2 Rib, wet-blocked and allowed to relax (see Notes).

NOTES

The lower body is worked in the round to the underarms, then divided for working the front and back separately to the shoulders. The lower edge and neck opening are deliberately left unfinished.

For an average fit, choose a size that is 0 to 2 inches more than your chest measurement. The ribbed fabric can comfortably stretch up to about 10%, so for a close-to-the-body fit you can choose a size that is about 10% smaller than your chest circumference.

When the fabric is allowed to relax after blocking, the receding 2-stitch purl columns will appear about 1 stitch wide, or about half the width of the 2-stitch knit columns.
