The Ceridwen Tee shirt

The Ceridwen Tee is an easy, size-inclusive crochet top featuring a beautifully textured lace panel combined with simple double crochet sections. Designed with comfort and versatility in mind, the construction is straightforward—simply crochet two identical panels before seaming the sides and shoulders to create a flattering V-neck tee.
