July is a circular yoke T-shirt worked top down. Starting with a provisional cast on, different stitch patterns are worked around the yoke before the shirt is divided to finish the body in stockinette stitch until the edging.
The sleeves are then worked in the round and kept short but can be adjusted in length.
Finally, the provisional cast on is opened and the neckline is added while working some short rows to raise the back neckline.

This T-shirt is perfect to wear with shorts, a skirt or pair of jeans. Choose your favorite colour to have the textured yoke pop out.
