Spice Up Your Life Tee Knitting Pattern (English)

About the model

Spice Up Your Life Tee is a classic tee in Stockinette stitch with a twist. On the yoke a tulip-shaped lace pattern is added by working i-cords individually. The i-cords on the back are longer than on the front to shape the neck for a nice fit. When joining the i-cords again stitches are added in between each i-cord and thereby establishing the tulip-shape of the holes. Now the yoke is worked with raglan increases. 

Sleeves and body are worked straight down and finished with a half twisted rib.
