Reina de Picas

I called my new light summer tee Reina de Picas (Queen of Spades) because the lace pattern on the round yoke reminds me of this symbol. It is a seamless top-down tee with short sleeves and an interesting lace pattern on the round yoke while the rest is made in simple stockinette. The range of ease across all the sizes is 7-9 cm/2.75-3.5”. The picture shows size 2 with 7 cm/2.75” of positive ease.
