I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude recently and as part of that I’m starting a new Gratitude Program. I’m offering a free pattern of your choice for every $25 spent on my Ravelry patterns. Past purchases on Ravelry definitely apply! I wrote a blog post explaining the program here. Happy knitting!

ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Orchid Tee is a classic top-down raglan tee with a scoop neck and simple lace panels at the bottom of the sleeves and body. The tee includes waist and hip shaping for a flattering fit. Written in 8 sizes. Orchid panels are charted and written. Named Orchid because the lace evokes the petals and lateral sepals of orchids. Orchids thrive worldwide with some care and are beautiful, mysterious and diverse. I feel like we could all use more of that in our lives.
