SUNSET Tee

Introducing my first actual garment made out of Color Changing Cotton: Sunset Tee - a little summer top. Now we just need the weather to go with it...

Yarn: Color Changing Cotton 6ply in colorway SUNSET (2.5 skeins)
Where to get yarn: Wollesyarncreations.etsy.com
Needles: 4 mm (US 6)

Changes made:
a)Instead of seaming the sides I did a 3-needle bind-off and then knit the sleeves in the round.
b)I added a knitted border in reverse stockinette around the neckline.
