OVERVIEW: Romane tee is a light, effortless short-sleeve top featuring an elegant lace pattern worked across the yoke. Knit it in Sunny Linen for a crisp, breathable summer version, or in Honey Alpaca for a softer, warmer feel.

CONSTRUCTION: This pattern is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, featuring a circular yoke construction. Begin by casting on stitches and working the neck ribbing. Next, work the lace pattern according to the chart. German short rows are then used to raise the back yoke. After completing the yoke, the work is divided into body and sleeves. The body is worked in the round to the hem, and the sleeves are then worked in the round to finish.
