Minimalistic Tee is a cropped, raglan sleeved tee with split hem. It’s worked seamlessly from top down and requires minimal finishing.
The work begins with neck ribbing, followed by the neckline shaping which is done by using German short rows (photo tutorial included in the pattern). Raglan increases are worked next and after that, sleeve stitches are placed on hold and body is worked in the round towards the hem. Hem ribbing is worked back and forth in rows, front and back separately. Front ribbing is slightly curved.
Stitches for sleeves are then placed on needles again and sleeve ribbing is worked in the round.
