The Monterey Tee features a beautiful allover twisted-rib lace motif; the simple construction allows you to focus on the rhythmic pattern. Style this top with a simple camisole or layer it over long sleeves for transitional seasons. This tee is worked from the bottom up in pieces and then blocked to allow the openwork to bloom.
