This pattern walks you through an interesting construction and you'll be rewarded with a flattering tee. Setting Sun is a relaxed tee with a simple lace panel running down the front. The tee is worked seamlessly top down with drop-shoulder construction and a rounded neckline. There is a bit of shaping to lower the back neck as well.

The body is slightly cropped, but easy to lengthen. The English pattern includes both charted and written instructions for the front panel, Finnish is only charted. **Size:** 1-2-3-4 (5-6-7-8) 9-10-11-12 The sweater is meant to be worn with positive ease.
