Dove Tee is a very fresh and airy summer top. The overall lace pattern is lightweight and breathable, while the small flutter sleeves help subtly cover the upper arms and side bust area, adding a touch of playful cuteness. The tee is knit from the top down. First, the back piece is knitted flat up to the underarm. Then, stitches are picked up from the shoulder sections to knit the left and right front pieces separately. The two front pieces are joined at the front neckline and worked flat down to the underarm. Finally, the body is joined and knitted in the round. The neckline is finished by picking up stitches and working in 2×2 ribbing, and the sleeves are finished with the small flutter sleeves.

For each size, there are charts for both front and back pieces.
