Picnic Tee by Adrienne Larsen

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Sweater is knit top down, in the round. The Front and Back are worked separately and joined at the underarm.

Only a fraction of CC1 and CC2 are used in the yoke of this pattern. This means very different effects can be acheived with the same yarns. In one of the examples, the brightest sections were used. In the other, the darkest sections were used. Start with whatever colors you like best to create the desired effect.
