Zebra tee is a striped pullover worked top down and seamlessly in the round. It starts in quite a special way by working the neckline at the back and front at the same time. Stitches are picked up to start the sleevecap. Sleeves, back and front are worked using a variation of the contiguous sleeve inset developed by Susie Myers.
After separating body and sleeves, the body is worked top down with extra ‘wedges’ at the sides. The sleeves are also worked top down and in the round.
