ABOUT THE DESIGN:
MY DRAPE TEE is a summer tee with shorts sleeves and a feminine pleat on the front, closed at the neckline with a little button.
The tee is worked from the top down. Short rows raise the back neck, and the yoke is shaped with five rounds of increases. The sleeve stitches are left on hold while the body is worked in the round with short rows to shape the back before binding off. The sleeves are then worked in the round with similar short row shaping before the bind-off.
