Adalia Tee
Adalia is a round-yoke tee featuring colorwork lady beetles, modeled after a color morph of the 10-spotted lady beetle, Adalia decempunctata. Many lady beetles are not the stereotypical red with black spots, and while the Adalia genus only includes 2 species, those 2 species make up nearly a dozen different color morphs! I’ve featured one of my favorite color morphs in this pattern, a predominantly black lady beetle with swirls for spots. The pattern is knit top-down, making it easy to try-on-as-you-go.
Sizing
Instructions are provided for 11 finished chest measurements: 29”/74cm (32”/81cm, 36”/91cm, 39”/99cm) (43”/109cm, 46”/117cm, 48”/122cm) (51”/130cm, 54”/137cm, 57”/145cm, 60”/152cm). The top should be worn with about 2-5”/5-13cm of positive ease.
