Nurtured Tee
Design by Britt Schmiesing
PATTERN NOTES
Tee is worked by first creating the lace panels. The panels are worked from sleeve edge to neckline, then joined across the back neckline. Front and back sections are worked downward off of the panels to the hem. Weave in ends as work progresses.
Chain-3 at beginning of oddnumbered rows counts as first half double crochet and chain-1 space unless otherwise stated. Chain-3 at beginning of evennumbered rows counts as first double crochet unless otherwise stated.
Chain-4 at beginning of row counts as first treble crochet unless otherwise stated.
Join with a slip stitch unless otherwise stated. SPECIAL STITCH Shell: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in indicated st or sp.
