Knitting Pattern for a comfortable tee with a V neck and a decorative lace pattern at the back in sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL.

Structure:
The tee is worked top down with raglan increases. Front and sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch, but on the back part there is a romantic lace pattern which flows from the neckline to the i- cord-edging of the body – the rest of the back part is worked in stockinette stitch too.
To shape the V neck, there are additional increases every few rows.
After the sleeves are separated from the body and the V neck is closed to the round, the body is finished in stockinette stitch in rounds with working the lace pattern at the back. As soon as you have reached your desired length, the stitches are casted off with an i-cord-edging and the V neck is finished with an applied i- cord-edging.
Afterwards, the sleeve stitches are picked up again and are worked for around 6 cm (or until you reach your preferred length) in stockinette stitch in rounds and they are casted off with an i- cord-edging too.
The fit of the tee is slightly oversized to create a comfortable and breezy (summer) look. The highlight of the tee is the lace pattern at the back, which makes the basic tee special and creates a romantic, feminine look.
