This spring or summer shirt is worked top-down, with lace inserts on back neck, saddle shoulders and sidelines. The ¾ sleeves and hem are worked completely in Dewdrop lace.
The project will need some concentration in its setup phase, but it will get easier after finishing the saddle shoulders – and the lower body will be a true TV knit. The lace pattern called “Dewdrop” (which has provided the name for the shirt) is easy to memorize, yet striking.

Gauge
26 sts x 36-38 rows in Stockinette and 26 sts x 38-40 rows in Dewdrop lace, both with needle 3,0mm.
(Needles 2,0mm and 2,5mm needed for edges and lace triangles.)

The shirt comes in 5 sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL (with bust circumference of 88, 96, 104, 112 and 120cm).
It is intended to have only a little bit of ease.
Important: Pick your sized based on the shoulder width. (For more ease at bust, you can work more increases later, before separation.)
Worked at a gauge of 24 sts, the shirt will become approx. one size bigger.

Yarn
Approx. 1100/ 1200/ 1300/ 1400/ 1500 m of a Light Fingering weight needed. For my sample, I have used HEMPels, the new wool/ hemp blend by Yundi & Grete which has an interesting structure: The typical undyed hemp threads within the yarn remind me of cobwebs in the early morning light.
HEMPels consists of 80% wool, 20% hemp, 400m/ 100g.

Yundi does not have an online shop yet; at the time being, she sells her yarn in a Facebook group called Yundi&Grete. But you could also contact her via Ravelry.
A big thank you to Yundi (Silke) for the nice coorperation on this pattern!
