The MINI Tee is a simple, form-fitting T-shirt that can be customized to fit your body shape. It’s a versatile piece that pairs well with other items and is perfect for spring and summer.

The shirt is worked seamlessly top down. First, the neckline is shaped using short rows. Then, the work is continued in the round, and increases are worked for the body and sleeves. Once the raglan increases are complete, the work is divided, and the body and sleeves are finished separately. The body can be customized to fit your body shape using bust darts and/or shaping at the waist. Since the shirt is worked from the top down, you can try it on repeatedly throughout the knitting process to achieve the best fit.

Techniques used: Japanese short rows, left- and right leaning lifted increases, left- and right leaning decreases.
