Umbre Lovre is a loose fitting tee with umbre striping and stained glass like polka dot detailing at the top and bottom. It’s worn off the shoulder and easily thrown over a tank for a fun, flirty look. It’s as no nonsense to wear as it is to knit, and I’m sure picking out colors will be your biggest challenge!
Tee is worked in the round from the bottom up. Stitches are held while front is finished, then picked back up for back. All colors are held and worked up the side of the tee.

This is darling. and would be fun to knit. However at the age of 67 I don’t see myself in off-the-shoulder anything. Could do it for daughter-in-law though.
