Kelpen by Jennifer Dassau

An easy-to-wear long tunic tee featuring a deep V-shaped back neckline with twisted cord ties, Kelpen is a simple topdown seamless knit from provisionally cast-on shoulders.  Stockinette stitch with no body shaping and a textured, drapey yarn focus attention on the details; the wide front and deep back neckline are finished with a casual rolled edge, and ribbing forms the short cap sleeves.  Casual for daytime or just enough to keep off a little evening chill, Kelpen can also be worn with the V-neck to the front-just omit the ties or tuck them inside!
