Perse by Berroco Design Team
Craft: Knitting
A polished crewneck tee with crossing back panels, Perse offers a distinctive twist on an everyday top. Modern Linen gives the finished tee wonderful drape and a sophisticated feel that can transition from casual to elegant with ease.
Perse is knit flat from the top down in one piece with short rows shaping the back panels. Seams join the front and backs and sleeve stitches are picked up and worked down in the round with short-row caps.
