CONSTRUCTION:
The tee is knitted from the top down in a circular yoke. The yoke begins flat and is joined in the round after the second increase. The increases are created with yarn overs that create pretty eyelets around the yoke. After the yoke is complete, stitches are left on hold while the body is completed. Each sleeve is knitted separately, then the hem is sewn under and the icord neck is knitted last.

This is an advanced beginner knitting pattern, written in english with US terms. It is recommended that you have basic knowledge of knitting sweaters before starting.
