DESCRIPTION
Easy to wear Raglan Tee with front vent and sleek edgings

The Tee is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. The increases are worked at the raglan lines. In the front neck a slit is worked, which can be closed with a small button or to wear open. Sides are shaped with increases to form an A-line or can be omitted.
First, the yoke is worked flat until the front slit is closed. Then the tee is worked in rounds to work downwards. The front neckline is shaped with German Short Rows. The body and the sleeves are worked to the desired length and finished with a folded hem. There are two options to fix the hem: Chose between the Three Needle Bind Off or sew on the hem (photo-tutorial). The edges at the neckline are finished with an I-Cord.
