Seaside Tee Light has a relaxed and loose fit, perfect to stay cool and comfortable in warmer weather. The t-shirt is worked from the top down. First the yoke is worked back and forth to shape the neckline and shoulders; the work is then joined in the round and the shoulder shaping is continued, followed by raglan increases. The body is then divided for the sleeves; both are worked in the round with a rib edge. The pattern includes two neck finish options: a folded over neck edge and an Italian bind-off finish.
