Tulip Tee
A simple yoke summer tee

Tulip Tee is a top-down yoke tee featuring a feminine cascading lace motif inspired by a vintage Japanese lace pattern. Beginning at the neckband and gradually increasing in size toward the lower yoke, the repeating motifs create a gentle blooming effect reminiscent of tulips. The design features thoughtful neckline construction, with subtle shaping details that create a comfortable fit and a polished finish, along with a slightly deeper yoke and balanced short sleeves that can easily be modified to ¾-length or full-length sleeves to suit your preference. The body is worked in plain stockinette to complement the detailed yoke and create a balanced silhouette. Perfectly airy and flowy, Tulip Tee is designed as an easy everyday knit for warm-weather wear.
