Re-Introducing Margareta, rewritten and recalculated with added metrics in 8 sizes.

Light and airy for warm days and nights, this is a two-color, short-sleeved, slim-fitting tee, worked in fingering-weight wool. Designed bottom-up and in the round, Ribbon Lace is its texture (a 9 stitch by 20 row repeat) on contrasting upper bodice and sleeves. Sleeves are worked in the round as well, with caps set in. I had fun with this knit, hope you will too! Enjoy!
