The Rattlesnake Tee, designed by Jamie Hoffman (@knitosophy on Instagram) is inspired by rattlesnakes and their home in the Arizona desert. There are three ready-to-ship kit options, and two custom kit options (DK or Tweed Me DK). If you'd like to put together your own kit, feel free to choose from any of our colorways! If you'd like a color consultation, please send me an email (sarah@travelingyarn.com). Pattern can be purchased directly through Jamie's website by clicking here!
Additional details from the pattern:
Rattlesnake features a top-down seamless construction with a somewhat slouchy fit. Optional waist shaping is included. With a colorwork yoke and DK weight yarn, the tee is warm and suitable year-round, but it might be best to wear at night during the hot summer months.
