The name for this tee comes from it’s gauge: ten stitches in four inches. With bulky weight yarn, or two strands of DK held together, this top works up amazingly fast. Knit in the round from the bottom up until sleeve separation, it is nearly seamless (just a short mattress stitch under the arms). The chest is knit flat up to the shoulders and continues down the back until lower back and upper back are grafted together. Then a few rounds of knitting for the collar and sleeves and, “Voila!” the Ten Stitch Tee is your newest staple garment.
