Pacific Crest Trail Tee by Kay Hopkins 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. Would you angle the hemline or make it straight?
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 work 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. You can even choose from 3 or more sleeve lengths.
