1. Easy Street Tee
The Easy Street Tee is a breathable summer knit perfect for staying cool in warmer weather. Its top-down raglan construction lets you try it on as you go for a custom fit, and the twisted rib edging adds a crisp, polished finish. With a just-right neckline—not too wide, low, or tight—this tee is easy to dress up or down and wear through multiple seasons.
The Easy Street Tee uses Cotton Hemp yarn, which is a plant-based, worsted weight #4 blend made of 70% cotton and 30% hemp, giving it a soft yet sturdy feel with beautiful drape.
It’s machine washable, though it should be laid flat to dry rather than put in the dryer.
It comes in 18 gorgeous shades, so there’s plenty of room to find the perfect color for your project.

Hi Rachel, just finished the Easy Roll Tee and I love it. This is actually the first knitted top I am actually going to wear. The instructions were easy to follow and the size “M” fits me perfectly. Thank you so much for publishing this tee. I’ll be sure to follow you. Sue S.
