DETAILS

The Martha Tee is delicate and easy to wear. It features the same beautiful lace pattern at the front neckline as the Martha Pullover and the Martha Vest. The pattern includes three different sleeve lengths. The Tee is designed a bit cropped, so if you prefer a longer length, you can easily adjust it before starting.

Measurements are included in the pattern, making it easy to adjust to your preferred length.

The Tee is worked in the round, from the bottom up, seamlessly, except for the underarms. The body and the sleeves are joined at the armholes and worked in the round at the raglan up to the front neck, where short rows shape the neckline. The neck, cuffs, and hem are worked in twisted ribbing.

The sample is knitted in Emma’s Yarn, Simply Spectacular DK, colorway Drops of Jupiter, and Himalayan Salt.
