This comfortable linen tee is suitable for the warmest weather, with sleeve caps covering just enough of the upper arm while allowing for air flow under the arms. A stretchy lace hem and A-line hip shaping allows for more movement. Body and sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, then joined with raglan shaping to the neck.

Difficulty: Intermediate
