Yawl
Designed by Rachel Brockman
Named after a type of sailboat, Yawl was designed to embrace the breeze of the open ocean. Unzipped, you’ll feel the sea breeze and the sun on your skin. Zip it up for chilly days and time spent on the dock. Cotton Supreme DK is light and durable, perfect for warm weather wears. A classic color combination oozes effortless sophistication. It will easily take you from a day on the waves to an evening seafood boil with friends.

PATTERN NOTES
This tee is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed. After assembling, stitches for the zipper placket are picked up and knit flat. Then the stitches for the neckband are picked up and knit flat. Finally, a zipper is attached to the front of the tee.
Yawl is available as part of the e-book Seaside Supreme, and as an individual pattern through Ravelry.
