ReTee

From idea to ReTee

Meet the ReTee, a minimalistic design that seamlessly blends street style inspiration with classic knitwear, infused with modern details that make it a truly unisex piece for any occasion.
The Re-Tee is designed as a versatile, all-season piece. Its base pattern make it light enough for spring and fall layering, yet warm enough on its own. Knit with silk/linen and cashmere for warmer weather, or switch to a cozy wool and alpaca blend for colder days. This foundational design allows you to knit the perfect tee for any time of year.

The ReTee is knitted top down. You begin with the back panel, knitting straight down to the underarm, where stitches are increased to create a continuous armhole line. The front panel is then picked up at the shoulder and shaped using short rows to form the crewneck line. Once the panels are joined, the body is knitted straight down with a slight decrease near the hem for a subtle, tailored look. Finally, the sleeves are picked up and shaped with decreases, and the neck opening is finished with a classic rib stitch.
