• The Una Tee embodies an understated elegance with its minimalistic design. Its features include a subtle drop-shoulder style and an oversized fit, paired with a cropped length that enhances its chic, contemporary feel. Its simplicity allows it to be effortlessly integrated into any wardrobe, providing versatile styling options.

• The Una Tee is worked from the bottom up in stockinette stitch. The edges are created with a folded hem. The work begins with the body in the round. The stitches are then divided to knit the front and back separately, back and forth. The rounded neckline and sloped shoulders are shaped with a Sloped Bind-Off technique. Following this, the shoulders are sewn together. Stitches are then picked up and knitted to work the neckline in the round, which is then folded and sewn in place. In the end, stitches are picked up along the armholes, to work the sleeves in the round. The pattern includes detailed instructions on beginning the knitting from the middle of the body with a Provisional Cast-on. This feature allows you to continue the work at the end, adjusting the garment length to match your fit preference.
