The Fortune Tee is a short-sleeved tee featuring an elegant lace pattern. It is worked from the bottom up. The body is knitted in the round to the desired length, after which the front and back are separated. The neckline is shaped on both sides, and the shoulders are finished using short rows for a smooth fit and are sewn together
using the three-needle bind off method.
Stitches for the sleeves are then picked up around the armholes and worked in the round to the desired length, so if preferred, it´s also possible to knit long sleeves. To finish, a neat 1x1 ribbed neckline adds the final touch.
