Construction Details: This is an extended drop-shoulder style pullover tee shirt. The pattern includes instructions for working long sleeves if you prefer a sweater. There is short-row shaping on the shoulders to create a flattering fit. For the tee shirt, the body is worked in two separate pieces that are seamed together and then the neck and armhole edgings are worked in the round. For the long-sleeved version, four separate pieces are worked and then seamed together. The pattern stitch is written in chart form and in words, knitters can choose their preference.
