Description

The Sea Turtle Tee is a drop-shoulder tee with very short sleeves. The highlight of the tee is the lace pattern on the back. This lace pattern creates small turtles, which is where the name of the tee comes from.

The tee is knitted seamlessly from top to bottom. However, since we have the pattern not only on the back but also on the front shoulders, we start at the neckline in the front. First, one shoulder is knitted upwards from the neckline, followed by the second shoulder. These two are then joined at the back and the hole pattern is continued down to the armholes. For the front, the stitches are picked up again at the front shoulders and these are also joined. This creates a square neckline. To keep the Tee bra-friendly, however, we now continue in stockinette stitch at the front down to the armholes. The Tee is then closed in the round and knitted down in stockinette stitch. The Tee is finished with a ribbed cuff. The length of the body can be adjusted individually.
