Hathor tee is characterized by its lozenge-shaped lace pattern and the classic aegyo shape that you can size up or down depending on how oversized a garment you want. Knit it in a soft summer cotton and use it as a tee in the summer, or use a light woolen yarn to use it as a vest in the autumn.
CONSTRUCTION
You first work the back, then pick up sts for shoulders, which are later joined to create the front. You continue to work flat until all pieces are joined. From then on, you work in the rnd in pattern, finishing with a twisted rib on neckband, hem and bottom of sleeves.
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
The tee is categorized as medium to difficult.
NOTE on difficulty: The pattern includes indicative diagrams as well as text describing the rows/rnds. However, you also need to be able to read your knitting in order to know where you are in relation to the diagrams. Meanwhile, the lace pattern is repetitive, and you will soon memorize it.
