The Furcula tee was inspired by the old wishbone tradition, with the lace resembling wishbones. The tee is knit bottom-up in the round before splitting for the sleeves. I wanted this pattern to work as a lucky charm for everyone, giving everyone the option to make the tee that they feel most comfortable in, whether it’s a cropped or full length version, a classic close fit or a relaxed oversized fit. This tee will work great with high waisted jeans, skirts or layered over dresses.

The pattern for the lace section is both written and charted.
