Luana Tee is a minimalist raglan sleeve t-shirt, with cute lateral ties. I think it’s perfect to be worn on dresses, skirts or high-waisted trousers. The Stockinette stitch gives it a feminine look. It’s simple but elegant, very easy to wear and it will become a staple in your wardrobe.

The construction is top down: the tee starts in the neck and is knitted in the round. The raglans are started and short rows are used to raise the back neckline compared to the front. Sleeves are put on hold to knit the body. The body is worked in Stockinette stitch and the ties are worked with short rows before the lower hem.
