To celebrate the release, I’m giving 20% off with the code APRILTEE through Tuesday, March 31 (end of day). Thank you!

If you purchase 5 or more patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (be sure to place them all on your cart before checking out), you will automatically receive a 25% discount.

April Tee is worked from top down featuring lace stripes, faux seams and side slits. Loose and relaxed fit gives it a modern look. The shoulders are shaped with short rows.
The work begins with the upper back. Stitches for each front are then picked up from the CO-row of the back and worked separately to the given length. The fronts are then joined and worked in one piece to the same length as the back. Front and back are then joined and the body is worked in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round. Stitches for the neck ribbing are picked up around the neck opening and the ribbing is worked in the round, folded in half and sewn in place.
The pattern includes a photo tutorial for the German short row technique. The lace pattern is both charted and written out.
