What started as a working title — TML — inspired by the dreamy Tosh Merino Light yarn, was then transformed into the final pattern name: Tame My Lace. This seamless, top-down tee strikes the perfect balance between intricate design and effortless wearability. The construction makes it possible for you to adjust the length of the sleeves and the body to your preferences, and the instructions also include a shorter yoke option while my sample was made with a longer one.

The delicate lace yoke creates a flattering V-neck, drawing the eye to its thoughtful details, while the calm, smooth stockinette of the body and 3/4 sleeves lets the lace truly shine.

Perfect for knitters who love a mix of technique and simplicity, Tame My Lace is a joy to create and wear. Let your stitches flow and see how this timeless design tames your heart!

The range of positive ease across sizes is 4 – 5.5cm/1.5 – 2.25”. The picture shows size 2 with longer yoke and with 4 cm/1.5” of positive ease.
