Pattern Notes:
The Pimelea Tee is made with four rectangles (two front pieces, and two back pieces) that are knit flat separately, then seamed at the shoulders using three-needle bind off. The sides, center front, and back of tee are seamed using mattress stitch, leaving a section unseamed in middle to create v-neck opening and along each side for armholes. Finished with garter stitch split-hem border along bottom edge of tee. This tee is easily modifiable to your desired size and fit. Simply add more stitches to each rectangle to increase width, and knit additional rows until desired length is reached. Work seams to create desired neck and arm openings as well. Use your gauge swatch to customize your size. Please note that modifying your garment may affect yardage estimates provided.
