| Description | The Shibori Tee is a lightweight top inspired by the intricate geometry of traditional Japanese shibori dyeing. Its boxy, modern shape echoes the simplicity of Japanese fashion, making it both elegant to wear and approachable to knit. A perfect introduction to mosaic knitting, this pattern lets you play with bold graphic texture—no stranded colourwork required. If you wish to knit one of the larger sizes but feel that the time frame is not achievable, please apply anyway and include this in your notes, as I am still learning to gauge knitting time and can be flexible for the largest sizes! |
