LIght, lacey and simply gorgeous!
Lily by Yumiko Alexander is knit using Dan Doh Linen, one of our faves!
This pattern includes two sleeve options: flutter sleeves (shown in Steel Gray) and kimono style (shown in Autumn Leaf).
The flutter sleeves are unique. The deep lace sleeves are left unseamed at the edges so they flutter and make the top less boxy. The armholes are seamed on the inside up to the underarm for a shorter depth than the sleeves.
The sleeves are worked out from the body.

If you prefer the kimono style sleeves, you can continue working the lace pattern for longer sleeves, and seam the edges.
