Who said working from the bottom up or the top down are the only ways to produce a knitted garment? Put that notion to the side as you work this stunning lace tee from armhole to armhole. Wide panels of sinuous lace pair with narrow columns of openwork, which run horizontally across the body when worn.

NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• This tee is worked in one piece from sleeve to sleeve, folded at the shoulders, then seamed at the sides and underarms.

• The beginning and end of the rows are the finished lower edge of the tee. To keep this edge tidy, join new balls of yarn at least 1” away from the edge.
