construction
The Fleur Tee is worked bottom-up in the round, beginning with an italian tubular cast-on and 1x1 ribbing at the hem. The entire project is worked in a pointelle pattern. The body is knitted to the desired length, then split to work the front and back separately. The neckline is made by placing some stitches on hold while working 1 shoulder at a time. The front and back pieces are seamed together, then stitches are picked up around the neck opening and knitted in 1x1 ribbing. Stitches are picked up around the armhole opening and short rows are worked to create the sleeve shape, then worked in the round to the desired length of sleeve, and finally finishing in 1x1 ribbing.
