The Talland Tee is a lacy, lightweight summer top with a relaxed fit. It is worked in one piece from the bottom hem upwards; separated at the armholes and rejoined at the shoulders. Shoulder seams are joined with a Three-Needle Bind Off, so there is no sewing involved. Instructions for the lace pattern are both written and charted.
