Direction Loop Tee
DIRECTION_LOOP_TEE is a t-shirt in a loose fit with a saddle shoulder that stretches all the way across the back. The construction of the shoulder is elegantly emphasized by the direction of the stripes.
The t-shirt is knitted seamlessly top down. Begin by casting on stitches in the middle of the back, then knit flat, first across the left and then across the right shoulder. Then pick up stitches along the front edges of the shoulders and the back. Continue knitting flat while also working increases for the sleeves and neckline. The work is joined by casting on stitches at the front and the yoke is knitted in the round on circular needle. The work is then divided for the body and sleeves, which are knitted in the round separately and finished with a folded edge. Finally, stitches along the neckline are picked up and knitted in the round in rib stitch. The ribbing is concluded with tubular bind off. Stripes are knitted according to a simple diagram for the entire work.
