Designed by 

Emily Greene

Equal parts elegant and versatile, Emily’s top-down tee is an instant classic for summer knitting. We love the sweet little details of this boxy tee: from its tailored shoulder shaping to its generous neckline. With soothing stockinette throughout, Petaluma makes for the perfect evening knit that results in a go-to summer garment. Pick out your favourite colourway of Sparrow and you’re ready to cast on!
