Fern Tee

Fern Tee is a simple and feminine short-sleeved blouse worked in the round from the top down with 1 strand of either Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk. The allover textured pattern and the elegant i-cord edges give the blouse a classy and clean look.
Fern Tee is intended to be fitted and is therefore designed with negative ease. To choose the correct size, look at the ‘to fit chest circumference’ measurements on the previous page.
