FARFALLA is a seamless top-down tee with a scalloped neckline and an intricate lace pattern on the yoke while the rest is made in reverse stockinette (knitted on wrong side).

There are 3 options for yoke size for you to choose from: short, medium and long (please refer to measurements table). My sample is made with long yoke.

The ease across all the sizes is 10-13.5 cm/4-4.5”.
The picture shows size 3 with 10 cm/4” of positive ease.

PATTERN NOTES:

• The tee is worked in one piece top down. You start with the circular yoke according to the lace charts.
• After the lace charts you turn your work and knit on WS to get a reverse Stockinette on RS.
• Then you separate the sleeves and the body, and work the neck shaping with short rows.
• After that, you continue working the sleeves and the body separately.

SKILLS REQUIRED:

• basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease)
• short rows
• working in the round
• working from a chart (written instructions to charts are also provided)
