Overview

The Emma Tee is worked top down in the round using circular needles.
Starting from the neckline, after a few rounds of ribbing, increases are worked along the four raglan lines using basic M1R and M1L increases. The yoke is worked in the round until the desired width is reached.
The stitches are then divided: sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is worked in stockinette stitch in the round to the desired length.
Finally, the sleeve stitches are transferred back onto the needles and finished with a simple ribbed cuff.
