Saw the True Nature pattern featured on Ravelry a while back and decided to give it a try. Love the pretty lace yoke and straight-forward construction. Also used Cascade Heritage Silk for the first time and it was nice to knit with – the subtle sheen from the 15% silk in the yarn made the lace stand out. I am really into teal blue lately, and the Como Blue colorway is just perfect.

The first part of the tee required using German Short rows (to build up the back of the garment), and the lace pattern itself in the yoke was a fun knit. From central double decrease up to 5-st increase, it was nice to see the pattern emerge as you go.

Then after that, it’s a straight forward all knit stitches in the round and twisted rib in the cuffs and hem. Lots of great TV-watching was had. 🙂 I just wanted a straight fit so I didn’t adjust the body for any type of shaping, but I did decide to make the sleeves elbow length for a more retro look.

After blocking/drying, and it’s a nice fit! Perfect for fall. I would love this tee in different colors – the yoke part was fun that I wouldn’t mind knitting it a few more times.
