Classic Lace Tee is a timeless V-neck pullover with a modern twist of lace at the neckline, making it perfect for so many outfits! This is wonderful for warm weather and also for layering in cooler weather. You can even choose longer sleeves for all-season wear.
 
The easy lace at the neckline adds a lot of style to the classic design. The V-neck edges are finished in I-Cord as the yoke is worked, so there is no need for finishing work after the garment is done. Simply block it and weave in your ends!

Construction is top-down, totally seamless, and with high raglan sleeves that almost look like set-in sleeves but are easier to adjust for that perfect fit. Try it on as you go to make the sleeves and body exactly the length that you want. The adjustable fit and optional angled hemline makes it a flattering pullover for many body types.

This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and test knit.
