Why You’ll Love Cercis
The Cercis by Marie Amelie Designs is a beautifully designed top-down knitted tee that transforms a classic raglan construction into an elegant lace garment. The decorative lace motif flows gracefully across the sleeves and continues along the sides of the body, creating a refined and feminine silhouette.
Designed as a seamless pullover, Cercis offers three sleeve length options—short, elbow-length, and long sleeves—allowing knitters to customize the garment for different seasons. The relaxed fit and delicate lace details make it equally suitable for everyday wear or special occasions.
Whether you choose lightweight summer sleeves or a cozy long-sleeve version, Cercis is a versatile wardrobe staple with timeless appeal.
