A pretty tee made from the top down with a touch of lace. It is fitted in the top with plenty of room in the hips making it an easy wearing comfortable tee. I used the luxurious Artyarns Silk Dream which feels so nice against the skin. This is yarn is 100% silk which can tend to grow with blocking. There are special notes in the pattern for using yarns that tend to grow and how to adjust the length.

Notes:
This A-line tee is worked top-down in one piece, using a compound raglan construction for the yoke. This shaping allows for a more flattering fit because the rate of increase varies, thus more accurately following the shape of the body. It increases more rapidly between the neck and shoulders and at the end to curve around the underarm, but more gradually in the section in between.
This garment is designed with negative ease at the bust and positive ease at the hips. If you desire a looser fit work one size bigger. The body increases may be omitted for a straight-fitting tee. Body length may be adjusted by changing the increase spacing or working more rows after the short rows.
