Overview
The Funfe-TEE is the sweet T-shirt version of my Funfetti Crop Tank pattern. I took all of my favorite parts from my tank and adapted it for a cropped short-sleeve top. It’s a great summer tee or great for layering in colder weather, with some lacy details on the hem and sleeve.

Construction
This cropped short-sleeve top is crocheted top-down by crocheting the front and back. The sides are seamed, sleeves are crocheted in the round, and a simple neckline is added. Finally, lace is added to the sleeves and the hem.
