This summer top is a short sleeve lightweight tee which is crocheted dolmen style. It is worked sideways from sleeve to sleeve. The sleeves are worked in the round, while the body is worked in rows.
It has a feature lace panel at the sleeve cuffs and running down the body and is mostly worked in UK treble crochet /US Double crochet stitches.

This pattern is designed for a GOTS certified organic yarn which is delightful to use, but can be worked up in any fingering weight yarn that gives gauge. On a trial, Drops Safran also worked perfectly for this pattern.

It can be inexpensive to make, as it does not require as much yarn as a heavier pattern, and despite the fine yarn, it works up quickly , mostly in simple stitches.

This pattern is also available with the adults version as a Mother Daughter set
