Summer Tee is a timeless, casual top with dropped shoulders, a crew neck and deep armholes. Starting with the back of the neck it is knit from top down. Stitches are increased on each side of the back panel to shape the sloping shoulder section. Stitches for the front are picked up along the selvedge edge on either side of the back. The top has deep, sportive armholes which size can easily be adjusted to personal wishes. The bottom of the top is knit straight down and finished by a wide i-cord edge. Optionally an elastic band can be drawn through the i-cord to casually pull up the hem to the waist for a tucked in look.
