The Pendenza Tee is a twist on the striped tee. With a dolman sleeve for interest, Pendenza uses lace weight yarn in 3 colors to create a lovely tee with gradient stripes. Lace weight yarn is available in cotton, wool, merino, alpaca and llama choices, just to name a few. So no matter what your preference, you’re sure to find the perfect yarn for your tee.

The pattern includes 9 sizes, so you can make it as roomy or as fitted as you desire.  This tee is crocheted from the bottom up, in 2 panels.  Then it is seamed together up the sides and across the shoulders, so it couldn’t be any easier!  The pattern includes both written and charted instructions.

The pattern also includes instructions to create your gradient balls of yarn before you start, along with gram weights to assist you. You’ll want to have a digital scale for this one.

The pattern supports low-resolution printing.
