About The Jade Pattern

Jade is a fitted boatneck tee for knit fabrics. The pattern features a curved hem and two necklines to help you customize your tee: a classic boat neckline or a unique ballet-style neckline with scoop front and back.

Choose from four different sleeve lengths including short, elbow, ¾-length, and long to create versions of Jade for every season. This comfortable design is quick and easy to sew and the perfect layering piece to add to your wardrobe. Jade looks fantastic paired with a Cleo skirt or Luna pants!
