The Mariposa Tee, as featured in the book Dreams, is knit seamlessly using worsted yarn in the round from the bottom up with waist shaping and neck shaping for a better fit. The sleeve cast off and cast on is an innovative way to create sleeves while continuing to knit in the round. The sleeve edges are picked up and knit, and then cast off for a neater appearance. The tee offers two necklines, scoop neck and a high neck. For a good fit add two inches to the size closest to your bust measurement.

Yarn substitution may result in a change in estimated yardage, gauge and finished size of your individual project.

This pattern is available in the following sizes:
Bust 32 (34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50) in.
