May tee
The May t-shirt is an easy-to-construct top, made with Bora Bora, a cotton and bamboo yarn.
It is worked top down: once the ribbed border is completed, work back and forth beginning the raglan increases, following the lace pattern, while simultaneously working short rows to provide ease at the front neckline. Once the short rows are finished, continue in the round, continuing to increase at the raglans up to the armholes.
At the end of the yoke, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and work continues on the body with the addition of underarm stitches. Once the body is finished, with the zig zag pattern and the bottom border, the sleeve stitches are picked up to work the respective ribbed borders.
There are no particular technical difficulties other than the short rows at the neckline and the tubular cast-off.
The t-shirt shown in the photo corresponds to size M, with a standard fit.
