The Cumulus Tee O-neck is a beautifully simple, lightweight tee designed to be worn close to the body. It’s worked seamlessly from the top down in smooth stockinette stitch, with a classic round neckline and elegant i-cord finishing on all edges. This is one of those patterns that looks effortless but feels considered — clean lines, refined details, and no finishing work at the end. A perfect warm-weather knit, layering piece, or “luxury basics” project when you want something wearable that still feels special. This is a printed pattern, not a digital download.
