Jasmine Tee - knitting pattern

Enjoy 15% off with the coupon code JASMINE (valid until August 28, 2025). 

Jasmine Tee is a seamless drop-shoulder pullover, with an interesting lace panel in the centre of both the front and back (although you can replace one of the panels with stockinette stitch if two panels are too much). 

The tee is worked top-down and its length is easy to customize. There are two sleeve length options: short and long. The lace pattern is presented in both chart and written format. 

I used fingering yarn and worked it very loosely (at a gauge usually used with DK yarn) for a light and airy tee. If you prefer a more tightly knit fabric, use sport weight yarn.
