Cosmic Tee by Nadia Crétin-Léchenne is a beautifully simple summer top.
Designed using our Llano base in the Neon Glitter colourway, this tee features a delicate lace panel running down the centre of the body. The rest of the design is simple and easy to wear — knit top down with drop shoulders and a softly curved neckline.
It’s an easy piece to wear, with just enough interest to make the knitting feel engaging from start to finish.
Kits are made using our Llano base (merino/linen fingering weight). They are dyed to order and will ship within approximately 2 weeks. Pattern is not included and can be purchased separately via Ravelry.
Why we love it
This is a lovely balance of simplicity and detail.
The clean shape makes it an easy, everyday piece, while the lace panel adds a quiet point of interest without overwhelming the design. It’s the kind of project that feels light and enjoyable on the needles, and just as easy to wear through the warmer months.
