Size guide
Lille Sommer Ella has a spacious shape. Length is measured in the middle of the back, excluding the neck band. Since the tee is knitted top down, it is easy to adjust the length of body and sleeves.
Construction
Lille Sommer Ella is knitted top-down. After the neckband, short rows are worked to make the front neckline lower than the back. Then the yoke with lace pattern is worked, raglan increases are made and finally the sleeves and body are separated and worked one at a time.
The pattern will be sent as a pdf-file to your e-mail.
