Design:
This tee is designed to be easy to wear, with its short dolman sleeves and straight neckline. The horizontal and vertical stripes created with knit and purl stitches give it a subtle sporty, nautical feel.

How it’s knit:
It is knit seamlessly from the top down. The top sections are worked flat, with short row shaping for the shoulders, and decreases to shape the sleeves. Then it is joined at the underarms and the body is worked in the round. There are 2 options for finishing the neckline and sleeves: a simple knit option, or i-cord.

Fit:
It is intended to fit with approximately 5-8 inches (12-20 cm) of ease around the body. The length of the body from the underarm is 12 inches (30 cm). If you wish to make it longer, you may need more yarn.

Yarn:
Any plant based DK yarn that works at the pattern gauge may be used. Blue sample is knit in Drops Belle (53% Cotton, 33% Rayon, 14% Linen); and the brown sample is in Berocco Vera (80% Cotton, 20% Rayon). Other ideas listed above.

Plant based (or silk) fibres are recommended because they tend to be quite inelastic, so the front and back ribbing will lay fairly flat, rather than pulling in.
