Peace & Bonheur is a minimalist raglan sleeve t-shirt, featuring simple lines, colors and eyelets details. This transitional piece is easy to knit as it is to wear. The construction is top-down: the tee starts in the neck and is knitted in the round. The raglans are started and short rows are used to raise the back neckline compared to the front. The sleeves are put on hold to knit the body. The body is worked in Stockinette stitch and the ties are worked with short rows before the lower hem. The simplicity of the construction allows for easy length alterations and you can choose to wear it with more or less ease depending on your desired fit.
