Knitting instructions Emma's Tee
Emma's Tee is first worked back and forth before the work is completed in the round. The neckline is worked with short rows. First a raglan yoke is worked, then the sleeves and body are knitted in the round. The sleeves are knitted on double pointed needles and the sleeve cuffs are turned up and sewn on after the first wash. An i-cord border is knitted to the neck opening on the back.
