PATTERN NOTES
This tee is worked from the top down in one
piece. The construction starts at the shoulders,
with some short row shaping, and then moves into a graceful leaf lace across the back.  The back and the fronts are worked separately down to the armholes, and then everything is joined to complete the body in one piece, ending in the flower lace at the bottom. Pick up stitches around the neck and the top is finished!
