A vindauga is an Old Norse word, meaning “wind’s eye” (vindr wind + auga eye), referring to the ability to see things coming from the outside of your home, while still remaining sheltered inside. Middle English later borrowed from this term, and it became the noun we know today as “window.”

Windows are an essential part of any comfortable home; they allow us to watch our wildlife, follow the weather, and let the light in. This tee is knit seamlessly from the top-down and follows simple raglan shaping. Follow charts for beginner-friendly lace borders on the hem and sleeve edges allow you to let the light in, whenever you wear it.

Instructions for both cropped and full-length versions included.

SIZES
Sizing available to fit up to a 30”- 63” bust with approx. 0-2” of positive ease.
Intended to fit the bust, and fit loosely at the waist, but feel free to experiment with more or less ease!

See pattern photos for detailed schematic and sizing details.

To choose your size, measure your fullest bust circumference and select the closest size. If you are between sizes, go up or down, depending on your preferred ease.
