The Bon Voyage Tee is worked in stockinette stitch, top down in the round with raglan shaping and without seams. The lace pattern repeats are worked on the center front and back. The lace pattern can be placed on the back only, or the tee can be worked entirely in stockinette stitch. The Bon Voyage Tee has a straight silhouette and is designed with approximately 10 cm of positive ease.

The raglan lines are worked in a 4-st pattern repeat, with yarn overs on both sides. The back neck shaping is worked with short rows, then the garment is worked in the round.

Gauge:
21 sts and 27 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch after washing and blocking.
The sample gauge was achieved with 3 mm needles. Choose the needle size that allows you to obtain the correct gauge. A larger-than-usual swatch is recommended, as silk may stretch significantly after washing.

• 2.5 mm circular needles for ribbing
• 3 mm crochet hook
• Waste yarn or spare cable
• Tapestry needle
