NOTES

  • This tee is worked back and forth from sleeve cuff to sleeve cuff.

  • The larger sizes have deeper armholes, so they have fewer stitches cast on at each side of the lower body to prevent the overall length from becoming too long.

  • A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
