The LIBRA MOON TEE is a light, sleeveless top worked bottom-up with clever construction. A lace panel is worked flat, then flipped to pick up stitches for the backpanel. When both panels are complete, they are joined seamlessly using a technique similar to a three-needle join, with the first round of stranded colorwork incorporated directly into the join for a visually striking transition. From the armholes upward, the front and back are worked separately in rows. Picot hems finish the neckline and armholes for a refined look.

This pattern contains video tutorials to help guide you through the difficult parts.
