Make summer last all year with the reminder of small bouquets of flowers along the bottom of this top!

The Bouquet de Fleurs tee is worked top down with short rows for neckline shaping and raglan increases. The neckline, yoke and upper body are worked from the WS, in order to minimize the amount of purling.
Once the desired body length is reached, a single turn is made to turn the work around, making it easier to work the lace chart from the RS.
I used a fingering weight silk yarn held double, but yarn can easily be substituted with for instance cotton or a cotton blend in a DK weight. For a warmer garment, it would look great in a DK weight wool yarn as well.

Please note that the lace pattern is charted only.
