Just like a fruity dessert, cool and cute is exactly what we want for warm-weather ensembles. The Blueberry Tee pairs a relaxed, modern silhouette with color-blocking and lace panels to give you a perfect summer top. Knit in Donnina, the merino wool yarn gives excellent stitch definition to the lace. Pair it with jeans for a casual day or dress it up with a skirt – you’ll find endless ways to wear this piece for years to come.

PATTERN NOTES
The front and back of this tee are constructed modularly, then seamed together. Each piece begins with a lace center panel. After the panel is complete, stitches are picked up along each side and worked sideways, then gradually bound off to create the armholes and sleeves. The schematic includes a visual guide regarding the construction of each piece. After seaming, stitches for the hem, neckband, and armhole edging are picked up and knit in the round.
