Sun Glow Tee
Sun Glow is a light summer tee, designed to be worn with 6-8” of positive ease for a relaxed fit.
This airy summer top layers perfectly over a camisole or tank for a gorgeous outfit. The portability of this modular design, with minimal finishing work, makes it a great take along project. Modular construction makes this a fun travel project. The center lace section can be knit in a contrast color (as shown) or the tee can be knit all in one color.

Basic lace, picking up stitches, mattress stitch, three needle bind off
Note
When working with linen, or other plant based fibers, I suggest joining a new ball of yarn at the beginning of a new row.
Construction
Sun Glow is a modular tee that begins with a lace panel in a contrasting color. Stitches are picked up along the edges of the panel using the main color and knit outwards to the ends of the sleeves. The front and back of the sweater are worked the same and are seamed at the sides and shoulders.
