Butterfly is a beautiful lightweight T-shirt worked in stockinette stitch with delicate flounces at the armholes. The textured silk tweed yarn gives the fabric a beautiful depth of color, a subtle shimmer, and a lively, slightly speckled look.

The T-shirt is worked from the bottom up in separate pieces, with shoulder and side seams. The flounces add a refined, romantic touch and make the silhouette soft, feminine, and elegant. This is an easy-to-style piece that looks special while remaining comfortable and effortless to wear.

The pattern includes video links and helpful tips for the more complex techniques, as well as a chart.
