This pattern was designed for Needles & Hooks Yarn Store in Lake Forest Park, WA for the 2025 Puget Sound LYS Tour and will be available for free in-store May 14-18.

The Brunch Crew is a top-down raglan with a decorative geometric lace motif along the front and back. Short rows are added at the back neck to shape the neckline for a better fit. The larger gauge and lace panels means this is a breezy, lightweight tee; perfect for the warmer weather! This pattern has been tech edited and tested.

Pattern includes charts and written instructions.
