The Polperro Tee is a top-down design with two-colour knit-and-purl checks and contrasting yarn textures. It is worked in the round, with short rows shaping the back neck and separate raglan increases for the body and sleeves. The check repeats are adjusted as the garment grows, and applied I-cord finishes the edges. The pattern combines Kid Mohair Silk and Merino Singles.
