Gooseberry tee
This design features a yoke inspired by the intricate shapes of the gooseberry plant. Its traveling stitches and cables mirror the graceful flow of leaves and vines around the delicate berry-like nupps.
Gooseberry Tee is worked from the top down seamlessly with the round yoke. The neck is shaped with short rows. Neckline, cuffs, and hem all feature 2x1 rib. Instructions for the yoke are both charted and written out, with videos for tricky techniques provided.
