Enjoy the Stained Glass Lattice Tee pattern for 50% off in the first week of launch, no code needed!

The Stained Glass Lattice Tee is a summer tee with a fun lattice band at the waist hemline. The lattice band can be worked in one colour in the round, or two colours using intarsia technique. Photo tutorials are provided. The contiguous set-in sleeve construction means the sleevecaps are knitted at the same time as the body, in the round.

The top down construction begins by knitting flat for the front and back. Before too long, stitches are picked up for sleevecaps and you knit in the round, increasing for sleeves. You return to knitting flat for armhole increases. The body is knitted in the round. The one colour lattice band is picked up and knit in the round. The two colour lattice band is worked flat and sewn onto the bottom of the garment. Sleeves are picked up and knitted in the round.

Difficulty level: Intermediate. Pattern involves lots of picking up stitches, putting stitches on hold, shortrows, cables, and optional intarsia.
