This is the Windmill T-shirt. It gets its name from the windmill lace stitch on the bottom of the T-shirt. The top is an A-line t-shirt that falls at the waist and is trimmed to wear with high-waisted jeans or over a skirt.
The pattern is written for 6 sizes and easily adaptable to make it more of a tunic top (like Emilie’s) instead of a crop top.
The sample is knitted in Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK, a DK weight 3 yarn. I chose cotton to make my top as I plan to wear it all summer. But if you want to make this top more of a cute short-sleeved sweater, feel free to knit it in a yarn that’s much warmer.
