Easy, breezy, and endlessly wearable — this reversible tee top pattern is a great introduction to simple garment knitting.

This 1980s knitting pattern is an ideal pick for anyone who wants a quick, no-fuss knit top for warm weather, using simple shaping and clean garter trim rather than fussy finishing.
