THIS KNITTING PATTERN IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT AND IN ENGLISH ONLY! Vela comes from Italian, meaning “sail”. This tee was inspired by the little boats moving steadily through the waterways of Venice. The name also reflects the design details: the cable pattern recalls ropes on boats, while the lace motif mirrors the gentle ripples boats leave behind on the canal surface. The Vela Tee is a lightweight, fingering-weight tee worked seamlessly from the top down, starting at the neckline. Its design features an elegant lace-and-cable motif that flows across the front, back, and sleeves, while panels of smooth stockinette stitch along the sides provide a calm, balanced contrast. The lace pattern is fully charted over the raglan increases, creating a flowing, integrated texture. At the underarms, the body and sleeves are separated and worked individually in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neckline and finished with a neat ribbed neckband. Please note that all lace patterns are charted; there are no written instructions.
