Construction
The tee is worked flat from the bottom up in rectangular panels. Once both panels are complete, the sides and shoulders are seamed. Stitches are picked up along the V-neck opening for a folded hem, and additional stitches are picked up around the neck opening and worked back and forth for the collar. Finally, a folded hem is worked in the round for the sleeve finishing.

Skill Level: Intermediate
