The Orcutt Tee is a versatile piece that will be a staple in your wardrobe all year long! Full of texture with a luscious cable panel, this tee is crafted from Organic Cotton - a softly twisted, 2-ply worsted weight that is oh so soft. Written for sizes XS to 5X, this pattern works well with a range of ease so you can create your perfect fit!

Great for intermediate knitters, adventurous beginners who want to give it a go should feel empowered to do so! We are always here for you! Schedule a Bring Your Own Project (BYOP) session with one of our instructors to help you navigate any troublesome areas or hop over the MFY+ for video tutorials!
