DIY: Aqua Peone Tee by Claire Borchardt

I knit this Aqua Peone Tee for our mom. She is too shy to model, so Tomiko is modeling here instead. The Peone Tee is a slightly cropped tee that is knit seamlessly from the top down and in the round. This is my favourite method of construction, so I was happy to knit a second! […]
