VESNA TEE
Vesna Tee feels like the first warm breeze of the season - light and fresh. Named after the Slavic goddess of spring, this airy, graceful layer is full of quiet glow.
The tee is knit sideways and can be worked in any number of colors. Vertical stripes, lots of airy lace, comfortably shaped shoulders, boat neck, and simple straight silhouette make Vesna a perfect spring / summer project. Choose from 13 chest circumferences and 6 lengths to make a piece that feels truly yours!
For a matching accessory, have a look at Vesna Mini Scarf.
