Pacific Crest Trail Tee
Pacific Crest Trail Tee
Pacific Crest Trail Tee is a timeless V-neck pullover with a modern cable twist that is sure to become a wardrobe staple. This is wonderfully comfortable for warmer weather and you can choose longer sleeves for cooler weather too.
One sample shown used one strand of heavy laceweight yarn held together with a strand of silky mohair and the other used a sport weight yarn held single. The slightly heathered result when holding two strands together is fantastic and it’s also beautiful in a single strand of sport weight.
The cables are easy to memorize and add a lot of style to the easy design. The V-neck edges are finished in I-Cord as the yoke is worked so there is no need for finishing after the garment is done. Simply block it and weave in your ends!
Construction is top-down, totally seamless, and with high raglan sleeves that almost look like set-in sleeves. Make the sleeves and body exactly the length that you want. The adjustable fit and angled hemline makes it a flattering pullover for many body types. Be sure to check out the other Pacific Crest Trail designs!
Sizing is inclusive with intended ease of at least 4 inches / 10 cm.
