The stitch is not difficult, you can easily memorise it, however you must pay attention and the construction requires concentration. Most steps are detailed in writing, however some parts are only on the charts. The pattern includes written tutorials and links to video tutorials for particular techniques, and a checklist to help you keep track of your progress.

Construction
The Mangrove Tee is worked in circular knitting from bottom to top. You will start by working the bottom of the body and sleeves separately until you reach the underarms, and then you’ll join the pieces to work the top of the body in circular knitting with raglan shaping. The last rows are worked flat, going back and forth on the wrong side and right side of the work, and casting off stitches to shape the neckline. Lastly, you will pick up stitches along the neckline to work the collar in 1x1 rib stitch with the 4 mm needles.

Techniques
Cast on - knit and purl - decreases - increases - cast off - picking up stitches
