£6.50

This pattern is in English.

Maritime Tee features a classic stripe pattern and a relaxed fit, perfect for looking chic and keeping cool in the summer months.

The tee is worked from the top down. First the back is worked back and forth with increases, then the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the slanted sides of the back. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the sides of the shoulders, and the rest of the yoke is worked together on a circular needle, first back and forth and then in the round once the neck shaping is complete. The sleeve stitches are put on hold and the body is worked in the round. The sleeves are worked in the round. Both body and sleeves are finished with ribbing. Finally, a folded neck edge is worked from stitches picked up around the neck edge.
