The Woody Tee is an oversized slipover that fits like a tee. This tee features a combination of 2x2 ribbing and horizontal ribbing. With drop shoulder construction beginning at the back of the neck and increasing to the full width of the tee. Then worked back and forth to shape the back of the armholes. The front chest panels are picked up from each shoulder and worked individually until the v-neckline is shaped and joined. The front chest panel is worked back and forth to shape the front of the armholes. Once completed, the front and back panels are joined and worked in the round until the length is completed. The vest is finished with a ribbed hem, neckline and armholes.
