NOTES
The T-Shirt is worked top-down. First, the upper back is worked flat to the underarms and then stitches are picked up along the shoulders to work the upper front down to the underarms. The pieces are joined and the body is worked in the round
to hem. Then, stitches are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round to the cuff. The shirt features a striped stitch pattern that allows one-row stripes without breaking the yarn while working flat. You can make the T-shirt either as a cropped version or in a regular unisex length.
