  • Matilda – T-Shirt

    Matilda combines a gently curving sweetheart neckline with a scattering of lace, creating an incredibly wearable T-shirt that has that certain special extra something to it!

    Worked from the bottom up, Matilda is knit in the round until the underarm split. Optional horizontal bust darts can be added for the perfect fit, and short rows help shape the neckline. When you've finished the lace, the shoulders are joined with a 3-needle Bind-Off and neckline and armhole edgings are worked for a polished finish.
