The Ebba tee is knitted seamlessly top-down with a lace pattern that looks like cables. The lace pattern follows the neck shaping on the front, then joining at the bottom of the v-neck. The increases in the lace pattern are fully charted.

The piece is started at the back neck and then increased to the full width of the back shoulders. After that stitches are picked up along the sloped shoulders for the fronts. The pieces are joined at the underarm and the body is then knitted in the round. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the body and then worked in the round. The sleeve cap is shaped with short-rows to improve the fit.

The length of the body is easily modified to suit your own body measurements. I recommend trying the tee on every now and then while working on it to make sure you get the perfect length for your style.

For the stitch patterns to show best, I recommend choosing unicolor or slightly tonal colorways. The Ebba tee is worked in DK weight yarn but you can also knit it by holding one strand of fingering weight yarn together with a strand of silk mohair.

The lace pattern is charted only.
