This tee features a timeless seamless design, worked from the top down with a raglan construction.
We begin by working back and forth in rows to shape the neck, then join in the round, increasing stitches to achieve the desired width.
No short rows are used in this pattern.
The stitches for the body and sleeves are separated at the underarms, with both sections worked in the round until the preferred length is reached.
Lastly, we pick up stitches around the neckline and finish it off with a rib stitch for a simple but always up-to-date look.
