Ochoco Tee
Ochoco Tee
Ochoco Tee is such a fun pullover to make and to wear! Easy lace and slipped stitches make a perfect warm weather top. The dropped shoulders and neckline are shaped for a comfortable fit that can be dressed up or down. Wear it alone or layer it under a jacket or with your favorite handknit cardigan.
It’s seamless and top-down so you can try it on as you go and make it exactly the length and size you desire; it would be just as beautiful in a cropped length as it is worn longer. The sleeve edges are finished as you go and you can choose to finish them in an easy garter stitch edge or in an I-Cord option. The stockinette stitch side panels enable easy sizing adjustments. The pattern includes options for neckline finish and increases to hips.
Ochoco will look great in any light DK, sport or fingering yarn that meets gauge and has good drape and stitch definition. This is an intermediate level pattern that could be accessible to an advanced beginner knitter.
