Knitting Pattern for a Loose-Fitting T-Shirt with Elbow-Length Sleeves, a Classic Raglan Construction Featuring Decorative Raglan Increases in a Lace Pattern, and an Enchanting Lace Pattern on the Body and Sleeves, Available in Sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL | 5XL

Structure:
The T-shirt is knitted top-down with raglan increases in a delicate, clover-like lace pattern: First, the shirt is worked flat in stockinette stitch and in the lace pattern to shape the round neckline using increases, while the raglan increases are created as yarn overs before and after the raglan stitch. Once the work is joined in the round, the T-shirt continues to be worked with yarn overs along the raglan lines and in the lace pattern in the round.
When the required total stitch count for each size is reached, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and the body is finished in the lace pattern in the round without further increases, ending with an I-cord edging. The sleeve stitches are then picked up again and the sleeves are worked in the same lace pattern in the round, also finished with an I-cord edging. The round neckline is finished with a classic I-cord edging.
The fit of the T-shirt is comfortable due to moderate positive ease and stands out with its construction and cut – as well as the simple lace pattern – through its classic elegance. The yarn overs along the raglan lines emphasize the light, summery feel of the design and also serve as a distinctive eye-catching detail. The length of the body and sleeves can be adjusted individually; additional or less yarn may be required than stated.
