The Unearthed Tee, a top-down raglan pullover, is the ultimate comfort garment and wardrobe staple. Wear it on its own in warmer weather or layer it with a shirt underneath when the temperature drops. Hourglass cable panels on the front and back provide classic texture while the optional duplicate stitch enlivens the cables with a pop of color.
The body is knit from the top down. The body is worked flat while the front neckline is shaped, then the body is joined in the round to continue shaping the raglans until the base of the armholes. The sleeves are separated from the lower body, and the lower body is knit in the round to the bottom hem. The sleeves are also knit in the round to the cuff. The bottom hem, sleeve cuffs, and neckband include optional rolled edges.
Choose a size that provides approximately 4-5” of positive ease in the chest. The texture of the cables and the duplicate stitch show up best in solid or mostly solid colorways.
