Moondrake Tee
This sweet little top is knit from the bottom up with an easy, fun lace motif that is relaxing and engaging. This tee is so versatile, and can be dressed up with a skirt or layered over a dress, or dressed down with jeans or shorts. The Moondrake Sport is the perfect pairing for this sweater, providing a soft fabric with amazing stitch definition.

This sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up. The front and back are separated at the underarms, then worked flat separately. Stitches are bound off for the front and back necks, with short row shoulder shaping worked on both the fronts and back, while a scoop neck is worked on the front. The shoulders are seamed with three needle bind off technique. The sleeves are picked up and finished with a short ribbed band while the collar stitches are picked up and worked first in ribbing then in stockinette to create a rolled edge.
