CONSTRUCTION
—
The Allino Tee is worked top-down, beginning with the upper back panel worked flat. Stitches are picked up at each end of the back panel to create the shoulders, joining at the front to finish the front panel. The panels are joined to work the body in the round, finishing with a ribbed hem. Stitches are picked up around the neck for the ribbed neckband. Optional sleeve short rows can be added to the drop shoulders for a classic t-shirt look.

SKILLS
—
This is a written pattern assuming intermediate knitting knowledge and is not intended to be beginner friendly. Supplemental research or practice to learn new skills may be required to complete this project.

This pattern requires a working knowledge of: knitting & purling both flat & in the round, picking up stitches, cabeled cast-on, short row shaping (sleeves only), increasing, and seaming.

Circular needles are used to work flat and in the round. The sleeves are made with the smallest cable length or preferred short circumference knitting like magic loop.

Cast-on methods suggested in this pattern are able to be substituted with any other method.
