Yarn note: This pattern was originally knitted in Aran/ Worsted weight cotton yarn. if you decide to use wool or a different type of yarn, I would suggest a thinner worsted or DK weight yarn.

Construction: This t-shirt is worked top-down using the raglan method. You start by knitting the ribbing for the collar. Then you will divide the sts as provided in the patt. Note: When you start places your stitch markers to shape the raglan, use a differnt color stitch marker for the beginning of the round to know when you have finished the round. You will increase every other row of the yoke until you get to the required length. The stitches for the sleeves are put on a stitch holder while you knit the rest of the body in the round. Then you will put the stitches for the sleeve back on your needles and knit the rest of the sleeve. For the sleeves you can either use the magic loop method or DPK needles.

Fit: This shirt has a negative ease of 1-2 inches. If you desire a looser fit, I would size up. I knitted the recommended size, which was a small. When measuring for this shirt, please use the largest measurements to get the size you need.

Materials:
4 mm (US 6) circular needles and/or DPK
3.5mm (US 4) circular needles and/or DPK
Stitch markers: 9 total (1 st sm different color to know where the beginning of the round is)
