DESCRIPTION
Who is ready for spring and summer!? This boxy top has a beautiful lace leaf pattern (worked over 32 sts) on the front of the shirt and the cutest eyelet details on the bottom half of the back, so you don’t show your bra! Making it the perfect tee for the beach or a BBQ in the sun. Knit bottom up, this pattern is worked in the round until the underarm. Then the top front and back panels are worked flat and seamed using the three needle bind off. Finally, the sleeves are then picked up and worked in the round. This pattern has 3-5” of positive ease already designed In, so be sure to read pages 6 & 7 to determine your size.

This pattern is written in 9 sizes, XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) so be sure to follow the correct size throughout. Model pictured is wearing the size M and is 5’7”, 145 pounds and has a bust of 36.5” in circumference, for reference.

How to choose your size: Find your bust measurements below. The positive ease is built into the pattern, meaning the final measurements will be 5-7” bigger than that number.

Knit flat, and in the round, seamless.
