A flowy tee with pleats at the neckline

Skill Level: Advanced

This raglan tee is knit in the round, with the initial few collar rows worked from the bottom up, then the remainder of the tee knit from the top down. The collar is cast on using the provisional cast on method, then the pleats up top are worked, followed by an i-cord bind off. The provisional cast on stitches are then picked up and you work the remainder of the yoke from the top down. The yoke includes a front and a back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the tee down to the waist. You end by working each sleeve individually.
