The Cotton Candy tee is seamlessly knitted from the top down. You will start by knitting the neckband, and then the yoke. Once the yoke increases are complete, the sleeves are separated and put on hold while you knit the body. The sleeves are knitted last on DPNS, short circulars, or the Magic Loop method. The entire top is knitted in stockinette stitch with an i-cord bind off on the ruffle and some sleeve versions.
