I wanted to design a basic T-shirt (with rolled sleeves ofc!) to wear with dungarees or jeans.

Vilja Tee is worked seamlessly from the top to down
starting from the the upper back, which is knitted flat until underarms. Stitches are picked up from the back shoulders for the right and left upper fronts, and then you work the neckline shaping and the rest of the upper front flat. Front and back pieces are joined on one needle and then knitted in the round until the hem.
Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and are knitted in the round with either DPNs or using the Magic Loop technique.
The neckline is finished with ribbing.
Both written instructions and a link to a video tutorial is provided for the folded cuff.
