An elegant short-sleeved t-shirt with dropped saddle shoulders, made with highlighted increases. The characteristic increases add an elegant detail to the minimalistic design.
The t-shirt is worked top-down. Stitches are cast on at the neck and worked back and forth in stockinette stitch with increases on both sides of the shoulders and at the front of the neck.
Stitches are cast on at the front of the neck and the work is joined to work in the round, with increases at the shoulders. When the shoulders have the final width, the front piece and the shoulder pieces are set to rest while the back piece is worked back and forth with decreases at the armholes. The front piece is made in the same way. The work is joined again and the body is worked in the round and finished with a folded hem. Stitches are knitted up at the neckline and a folded neck edge is knitted.
The sleeves are worked one at a time. The shoulder stitches are transferred to the needle and stitches are knitted up along the rest of the armhole. Decreases are made along the inside of the sleeves.
