Pattern Description fromCast On, February-April 2010:* “Although worked from the bottom edge up. the design process of this tee is started at the neckline. The stepped v-neck is made by binding off a section of the box stitch at the end of a repeat. This particular combination of knit and purl stitches keeps the fabric from rolling, so along with the clean finish of the stepped neckline, this garment needs no additional trim.”
