NOTES
The essential tee is remade with a boxy silhouette, fitted sleeves, Grass Stitches for texture, and Water Lily lace at the hem. The fabric created with mYak Baby Yak Silk drapes with an elegant sheen. In contrast, the Kupa is cool and light to wear with crisp stitch definition.
The tee is worked from the bottom up in the round with a Rib Stitch pattern. The Rib Stitch is continued in the lace. The lace pattern is charted. Once the chart is complete, Grass Stitches are worked for the rest of the fabric.
The front and back are divided at the armholes. Sleeves are worked in the Grass Stitch pattern in the round and set in once the shoulders are seamed.
The collar is picked up and worked in the round, and finished with a tubular bind off.
