Cochlea is a simple seamless raglan tee, worked top down with a lace patten on the back. You will start with the back, working back and forth, with the increase build the v neck until you join in the front and start working in the round, while continuing to work the continuing lace pattern in the back. There is an option for waist shaping or for a straight waist for the main body of the tee. Finished with a simple garter stitch hem. Sleeves will be picked up and worked in the round after the body has been completed. Then lastly a very simple neckline will be mad to give it a more subtle V on the neckline and a more polished over all look.
