My Sunshine Shirt is a simple shirt with three little refinements. First, there’s the construction. The shirt is knit in one piece from top to bottom (including the neckline). A saddle shoulder defines a nice transition from the shoulder into the puff sleeve.
Another highlight are the small color patterns at the bottom of the body. These are easy to knit since only pure thread is used per round. (The pattern is created by slip stitches and knit deeper stitches).
The puff sleeves round off the design.
