The “Flourish” Tee is a light weight garment knitted from the top-down in the round and features a floral textured yoke. The loose gauge and lace pattern make it very comfortable to wear in warmer temperatures, especially in spring and summer.

The flowers are created using cables and lace techniques.
To achieve a similar placement of the flowers for all sizes, there are three different lengths of the motif. They are charted in the main pattern document, but the pattern also provides a separate document with written instructions as an alternative to the chart.

Since the main pattern of the “Flourish” Tee is reverse stockinette, the pattern instructs you to turn your knitting inside-out right after finishing the textured flowers of the yoke. So you will knit in stockinette most of the time.
