NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• The body of this tee is worked back and forth from the bottom up in separate pieces. The sides of the body are seamed. The shoulders are joined at the Back using a three needle bind-off worked on the right side. Stitches for the Sleeves are picked up and knit in the round from the shoulder down. The neckband is picked up and knit in the round.

• Shoulder seams are located at the back, not centered at the top of the shoulders.

• Slip stitches purlwise except where indicated otherwise.

• Beads made of wood or another lightweight material are highly recommended for this project to minimize the risk of sagging along the hem over time.
