The Drop Vee Tee is a V neck tee design with drop stitch detailing along the sleeves and the bottom hem. It is worked top down raglan style in stockinette. It is designed for short cap sleeves, though you could easily add length if you prefer a longer sleeve. The tee is designed to fall at hip level, but can easily be customized to a shorter or longer length! It is meant to be a bit of a boxy fit, but the pattern will have options for waist shaping if desired. This is a #sizeinclusive pattern, and is designed for 1-6” of positive ease.

yardage is an approximation at this point, and is calculated using a hip length. I included more yardage than I actually used to account for people with longer torsos to get the same sort of fit as my sample, so this yardage should be more than enough for the hip length fit. Please allow for a bit extra yardage if choosing to do longer sleeves or body
