Farfalla Tee

FARFALLA is a seamless top-down tee with a scalloped neckline and an intricate lace pattern on the yoke while the rest is made in reverse stockinette (knitted on wrong side). There are 3 options for yoke size for you to choose from: short, medium and long (please refer to measurements table). My sample is made with long yoke. The ease across all the sizes is 10-13.5 cm/4-4.5”. The picture shows size 3 with 10 cm/4” of positive ease.

You start with the circular yoke according to the lace charts. • After the lace charts you turn your work and knit on WS to get a reverse Stockinette on RS. • Then you separate the sleeves and the body, and work the neck shaping with short rows. • After that, you continue working the sleeves and the body separately. SKILLS REQUIRED: • basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease) • short rows • working in the round • working from a chart (written instructions to charts are also provided)
