Courtship is an oversized and airy cotton tee, perfect for some warm weather knitting! It is simply constructed with very little shaping, but a light fabric and a touch of lace at the shoulders gives it a lot of romance and movement. It’s basic shape compliments most body types and the pattern is written for a wide range of sizes from baby through adult.

This pattern has both written and charted directions and contains instructions for every stitch pattern used. It is knit from the top down, first by working the front and back top panels separately, then joining them in the round to knit the body and hem, with only the shoulders to seam. In the adult sizes, short rows are used to add a little bit of extra length to the back.
