The Gabriella Tee is a beautiful knit with lace details.
The tee is worked top-down, in the round. First the left side of the yoke is worked back and forth, with raglan increases and increases to shape the neckline, followed by the right side of the yoke. The work is then joined in the front. The back neckline is shaped further and once completed, the work is joined at the back. From this point on, the rest of the yoke is knitted in the round. After finishing the yoke, the work is divided into sleeves and body. Stitches are cast on under the arms. The body is knitted in the round until the desired length has been reached (cropped or normal length). You can choose to work the stitches under the arms in a lace pattern (as shown in the yellow tee), or work the entire body in stockinette stitch (pink tee). Stitches are bound off using an i-cord. The sleeves are worked in the round, continuing the lace pattern, and bound off using an i-cord. In a final step, stitches are picked up for the neckline to add an i-cord edge.
