Tee with eyelet diamonds and zigzag border, knit from side-to-side.

Materials:

  • Lana Grossa “Gala” (48% silk, 24% viscose, 17% linen, 11% polyamide; 95m / 104yds ; 50g / 1.76oz) - 200 (250) g (4-5 balls)
  • One pair 4.5 mm / US 7 needles
  • One 4 mm / US G crochet hook

Construction Notes:
The pattern can be adapted to fit larger sizes by making the following modifications:

The width can be changed easily by knitting more rows since the top is knit sideways. You just need to make the number of lace repeats an even number; e.g., 4, 6, 8, etc. The sleeve/armhole width can also be adjusted easily by casting on more stitches and increasing to a wider number of stitches to create a deeper armhole depth.
