Purple moon is worked seamlessly in rounds from the top down. First some short rows are worked to shape the neckline. Raglan increases are then worked to the final yoke depth, where sleeve stitches are put on hold. From this point the body is worked in rounds down to the ribbing. Then sleeve stitches are picked up again to work the sleeves in rounds top down to the cuffs. No finishing required.

Two different yarn qualities are used for the stripes. Go with similar colors (as shown) or opt for a high contrast … possibilities are endless.

Using a lace weight kid silk mohair blend in combination with the heavy fingering weight linen merino blend results in “airy” and “see through” stripes, making this tee a wonderful garment for spring and late summer.
