Hilpu

This is a light summer tee with decorative lace panels on the shoulders and short sleeves. The tee is worked from top down with contiguous (developed by SusieM on Ravelry) sleeve shaping. Everything is worked seamlessly; you only have to pick a few stitches from the underarm. There is no shaping on the body, however shaping can be easily modified if preferred.
