SummerTea is knit from the top down with raglan sleeves that are knit simultaneously with the upper body.

The neckline is adorned with a choice of two different sized pretty v-shaped lace patterns inserts (instructions for both are included in the pattern). The raglan sleeve increases are worked with yarn-overs, giving the t-shirt a lacy look.

Instructions are provided for a shaped waist fit and also for an A-line shape tunic fit. The sleeve border is worked in a seamed picot-edging, but could easily be worked with regular ribbing.
