About Rays of Sun

Meet our new favorite top! A fingering weight summer tee by Paula Pereira, Rays of Sun is an airy, top-down jumper with short sleeves, and a delicate lace motif on the yoke. Designed with 2-5”/5-12.5 cm of positive ease and no waist shaping, this might just be the most comfortable summer top you own.

Plus we have a limited number of kits in 3 colors featuring Purl Soho’s Linen Quill - “Peruvian fingering weight blend of fine wool, alpaca, and linen. It is windswept and elegant, hearty and beautiful.” This tee is light and airy and perfect for the shoulder seasons!

What’s Knitrino?

We are creating a new way of interacting with patterns on small screens, publishing "friendly" patterns focused on an exceptional user experience. It's like Google Maps for Knitting patterns: Click a stitch to see how to do it, highlight your current place, step by step pattern tracking, colorwork in your yarn colors, see only your size, and pin a note anywhere. There are no PDFs, no importing, just purchase your pattern and go! Read more here.

Size & Fit

This tee is designed to have 2-5”/5-12.5cm of positive ease, but no two bodies are the same! If you like more ease in the bust or under the arms, we recommend sizing up. The sample is shown in the designed length, but some of our testers wanted theirs longer. At the end of the body section, you’ll find information on how much yarn to reserve for the sleeves & hem so you can make it as long as you want! If you have any questions about fit or want our recommendation on sizing, just email us. support@knitrino.com
