A boxy, slightly oversized fit with a simple lace detail in the bodice and drop sleeves makes this a
comfy but feminine tee that will quickly become your favorite piece for spring and summer!

Knit in two identical pieces and seamed, with minimal finishing at the neck and sleeves, this is a
great pattern for adventurous beginners as well as more experienced knitters looking for a quick
wardrobe piece.

NOTES

• Tee is worked flat from the bottom up in 2 identical pieces. After blocking, the shoulders are
seamed using the three-needle BO method. Sts are picked up around the neck and sleeves and
worked in the round to complete the trim.
• The first st of every row is slipped until the beginning of the lace section. From that point, work
the first st of every row (k or p) as written.
• See a video of how to work the lace pattern here.

FRONT/BACK (make 2 pieces)
With larger needle, CO 122 (134, 146, 158,

Rep Border Row 5 more times for a total of 6
rows (or to desired height).

Body Setup row 2 (WS): Sl1 wyif, p to end.
Body Row 1 (RS): Sl1 wyib, k to end.

Rep Body Rows 1 and 2 until desired length.
For full length, knit to approx.15”, (16", 16.5",
17.5", 18", 19") from CO edge, ending after
WS row.
Note: For cropped version in sample, piece was
knit 4” shorter.
Place locking markers on both ends to note the
beginning of the armholes.
Next row (RS): K1, (2, 3, 4, 0, 1), pm, k to last 1,
(2, 3, 4, 0, 1) st(s), pm, k to end.
Note: Size 2XL does not need to place markers
and can just knit to the end of the row.
Next row (WS): K to marker, sm, k to next
marker, sm, k to end. (This establishes the first
garter stripe.)
Continuing to work the sts on the outside of
the markers in Stockinette st (k the RS, p the
WS), work rows 5–12 of the lace pattern inside
the markers one time.

Rep rows 1–12 of the lace pattern until armhole
measures approximately 7", (7", 7.5", 7.5", 8",
8") or desired length, from underarm markers,
ending after row 12.
Note: When working row 4 (the WS garter
stripe row), knit the sts outside the markers
instead of purling to carry the garter stripe
across the whole row.
Neck Shaping
Next row (RS): K34, (40, 46, 52, 58, 64) sts, bo
54 sts, k34, (40, 46, 52, 58, 64). You will now
work each shoulder separately.
Right shoulder
Next row (WS): P to end.
Decrease row (RS): K1, ssk, k to end. (1 st
decreased)
Rep previous 2 rows once more, then WS row
again.
Place remaining 32, (38, 44, 50, 56, 62) sts on
hold for three-needle BO.
Left shoulder
Next row (WS): P to end.
Decrease row (RS): K to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. (1
st decreased)
Rep previous 2 rows once more, then WS row
again.
Place remaining 32, (38, 44, 50, 56, 62) sts on
hold for three-needle BO.
Note: you can either block both pieces before
finishing, or proceed to finishing and block the
entire garment afterwards. I like to block my
pieces before finishing, as it makes seaming a
lot easier.

FINISHING

Hold front and back pieces together so that the right sides are facing each other and wrong sides
are on the outside. Return the right shoulder sts to your needles and use the three-needle BO
method to join. Watch a video of this technique here. Repeat with the left shoulder. Using the
seaming method of your choice (here is a mattress stitch tutorial), seam the sides up to the armhole.

Neck: With smaller size 16" needle and beginning at back right shoulder, pick up and knit 130 sts
around the neckline. PM to note beginning of round.
Rnd 1: P to end of rnd.
Rnd 2: K to end of rnd.
Work rnds 1 and 2 a total of 2 times. BO all sts purlwise.

Sleeves: With smaller size 16" needle and beginning at underarm, pick up and knit 116, (116, 124,
124, 128,128) sts around each armhole. PM to note beginning of round.
Rnd 1: P to end of rnd.
Rnd 2: K to end of rnd.
Work rnds 1 and 2 a total of 2 times. BO all sts purlwise.

If you already blocked your pieces before seaming, you may or may not choose to spot block the
neck and sleeve trim. If you haven't yet blocked your garment, do so now to open the lace pattern
and set the size and trim as desired.
