Maj-Tee is a simple T-Shirt, knitted step-by-step top-down and seamlessly.
Designed with 8 – 10 cm positive ease at the bust, to wear as a singel or over a longesleeve.
Start knitting at the shoulder-lines with a provisional cast-on, knit both front sides at first back and forth separately, then knit both together on the underarm-seams. Knit backpiece in the same way and join both pieces together, to knit in rounds to the bottom of the shirt.
Maj-Tee has lovely rolled edges and lace-flowers on the sides as special eye catchers. Knit it with a smooth falling yarn, like alpaca from FairAlpaka.
