Knitting Pattern in English for a Summery Raglan Tee with a Checked Lace Pattern, a Round Neck and Short Sleeves in Sizes XS/S | M/L (L/XL | XL/2XL)

Structure:
The shirt is worked top down with raglan increases and a checked lace pattern. To shape the round neck, you work for a few centimeters back and forth in rows before you are going to close the round neck and work the yoke in rounds.
After separating the sleeves from the body, the body is finished in lace pattern in rounds. A hem in 1x1 twisted ribbing is attached to the body.
Afterwards, the resting sleeve stitches are picked up again and new stitches are picked up directly out of the body before the sleeves are finished in rounds in lace pattern. Shortly before the cuffs there are worked in a few decreases for a slight sleeve shaping. The cuff is worked in 1x1 twisted ribbed pattern.
Now stitches are picked up again around the neckline and a collar in 1x1 twisted ribbing is attached to the round neck.
The fit of the tee is close to the body and has no or a little positive ease of up to 10 cm. A negative ease of up to 5 cm is possible too. If you are in between two sizes, I recommend to choose the smaller size.
The highlight of the tee is the lace pattern reminding of a checked pattern creating an airy and breezy garment perfect for cooler summer days and warmer spring days
