Bling T

Inspired by Bling Tank, this T-shirt version is the perfect blend of comfort and elegance, designed to keep you looking chic. Bling T is seamless and worked in the round from the bottom up. It starts with turned notched hems, which add sophistication and room for your hips, while the faux side panels create a flattering silhouette.

Bling T has a raglan yoke construction that incorporates a bespoke pre-strung bead mix worked at the front of the sweater. If you prefer a more fitted neckline, you can knit optional short rows. For those who love a relaxed and casual look, skipping the short-rows gives you a slick boatneck. Both necklines are finished with an attached I-Cord edging.
