Ralyn Tee

The Ralyn Tee was originally designed for Taproot Magazine. It was inspired by the word “build”, and further by the interesting architecture of our geodesic dome home. First metered squares are knit with two colors creating the diamonds along the bottom edge of the top  which mimics the triangle shaped sides that make up the walls of a geodesic structure. After individual diamonds are made they are joined together, one row building upon the next until the entire bottom structure has been knit. The rest of the top is worked in stockinette stitch in the round and separated at the top for the front and back. Knit up in Seven Sister’s Yarn Linnet, a blend of silk and linen, it is a light, fresh top perfect for spring-fall!
