The Salty Air Tee is another summer knit and was it ever fun to knit! This cute little number has a gorgeous lace yoke and a cropped length (well, cropped for me and shortish according to my teenage daughter). It makes for a lovely, light summer tee.
I had a limited quantity of a sock yarn from Hedgehog Fibres that I wanted to use up. I wondered if I could squeeze in a summer top or modify an existing design that I’ve made previously. After a bit of a search on the interwebs, I came across the Salty Air Tee pattern and knew this was the perfect match. The colorway I used is called Teacup which has pink, brown and a few navy speckles on an undyed base. I thought the speckles would detract from the lace and it does seem that way in these pictures. In real life though, the speckles/lace combo is quite lovely.
Salty Air is designed by Samantha Guerin, who is a new-to-me designer. I love her style and I’m sure I will knit other patterns by her.
Halfway there!
The Salty Air Tee was designed with easy breezy summer moments in mind.

There are so many things I love about this tee.
The star of the show is definitely the lace yoke. The pattern radiates outward with strategically placed increases making a nice transition from the neck downwards over the shoulders.
The short rows at the beginning ensure that the fit at the neck is just right. And of course, it is the perfect length which makes this top wearable in the summer and with no overheating!
This pattern gets 5 stars from me!
