Some yars ago, I spent some days in Istanbul and I visited the amazing Blue Mosque. It was really incredible and the perfection of its floral painting really amazed me. The mosque had a second entrance for women, and women had their own space for praying, behind a finely carved marble grid. The lace pattern of this tee remind me of that grill.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The tee is worked from top down completely seamless. The work starts from the back, than it is divided in 2 pieces for shoulders. Then front and back are joined to work in the round for the body. The front is shaped with German Short Rows. The neckline and sleeves borders are knitted on the go, so no finishing is needed at all. This tee can be easily adjusted to different gauges and ease.
