CAPSULE Tee is knitted top down. The upper back and fronts are worked flat, beginning with the back neck stitches. The shoulders are shaped by increasing stitches on both edges, and the upper back is then worked straight to the underarm. For larger sizes, additional increases are worked at the underarm to shape the armholes. Stitches for the fronts are picked up along the shoulders, and the front neckline is shaped. Once the fronts are joined, they are worked as one piece. The back and front are then joined, and the body is worked in the round to the hem, finishing with a folded edge or ribbing. Sleeve stitches are picked up and worked in the round without decreases, and are also finished with a folded edge or ribbing.
