Knitting pattern Emma's shirt
Emma’s shirt is first worked back and forth before the work is completed in the round. The neckline is worked with shortened 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 cuffs are folded over and sewn on after the first wash. An i-cord edge is knitted to the neck opening on the back.
