This easy raglan tee is knit seamlessly from the top down with texture and lace accents. Length is easily adjusted if you want it shorter (or longer!) No short rows, just a few stitches to pick up, and easy to memorize texture and lace stitches. Can be worn with 0 to several inches of ease as desired. Make it a cool, body skimming tee or a roomy layering piece.

A NOTE ABOUT GAUGE
With plant fibers it is especially difficult to get an accurate gauge measurement from a swatch. If your gauge in the round is different for knitting flat, you should swatch in the round (or with long floats) Bigger swatches are better and blocking is a must! Be aware of the tendency of these fibers to grow in your finished top.

Sample was knit in Miss Babs Damask in Goldenrod and is modeled with about 4 inches of ease.
