Wildflower is a seamless top-down summer tee with a lacey round yoke. This design features charming yarn over details in the neckline and hems. The subtly textured body has slight waist shaping for a flattering feminine style.
Let the lace pattern in the yoke enchant you as it dances along like flowers swaying in the wind.

This tee uses fingering weight yarn to create a lofty and lightweight garment.
The pattern comes in 7 sizes, ranging from 88-143,5cm/35.5-57.5inches bust, including 5-10cm/ 2-4 inches of positive ease.

Construction:
Wildflower starts at the neckline and is then worked seamlessly from the top down in the round. Once the neckline is complete, short rows are worked to shape the neck, followed by the yoke pattern. After that, the body and sleeves are separated and worked individually.
The pattern includes slight waist shaping for the body. However, if you prefer a straight body, you can easily work it straight to your desired length instead.

Sizes:
XS-S-M (L-1X-2X-3X)
