The True Nature tee is a combination of two of my favorite knitting techniques: engaging lace and relaxing stockinette! The lace yoke of this tee was designed to look like the petals of a flower opening around your neck. This sweater uses short rows to raise the back of the neck for a more comfortable fit, and comes in 10 sizes. Worked seamlessly from the top down, this tee includes both written instructions and a chart to guide you through the lace neckline. The pattern has a detailed schematic as well as instructions for either a cropped or full length body. You will find links to video tutorials in the pattern, so that you can realize your true nature: a happy, relaxed knitter in a beautiful sweater.

This Tee Includes:

  • Top-Down, Seamless Construction
  • Charts & Schematic
  • Clear Written Instructions
  • Video Tutorials
