Knitting Kit - Lacey Loop Tee by Other Loops_

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry here. 

Pattern available in French and English. 

LACEY_LOOP_TEE features a loose fit, a classic round neckline, and is adorned with purl stitch stripes, a feminine lace pattern, and a unique ribbed border.

The tee is knitted from top to bottom. It starts by casting on stitches for the back, which is worked back and forth with short rows to shape the upper back. Then, stitches are picked up along the shoulders, and these are worked separately back and forth. The two shoulders are then joined to form the front by casting on stitches at the center front.

The front and back are then joined, and the body is knitted in the round, finished with a ribbed border composed of eyelets and purl stitches. Neckline stitches are picked up all around, and the neckline is knitted in the round in ribbing. For a neat finish, the last four rows are worked in double knitting, then the stitches are bound off with an Italian bind-off.

Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes, and the sleeves are knitted in the round. Stripes are created using purl stitches and eyelets according to a diagram that extends throughout the tee. The first part of the instructions describes the diagram row by row.
