Set-in sleeves with no seaming? Yes, it can be done! The Manta Top-Down Tee features flattering set-in sleeves that are knit simultaneously with the rest of the yoke. The lower body is worked in the round with subtle A-line shaping. Working Longmeadow at a looser gauge than normal creates a soft, flowing fabric that will help keep you cool.
