After Beach tee is a tee-shirt with a very simple shape, slanted sleeves and a drop on the back. Knitted with a summer yarn your knitting will be soft, fluid and fresh. Perfect after the beach !
We start with the back then the fronts are picked up on the shoulders line.
The shoulders are formed by shortened rows. The body (back and front) is then worked in the round in St st. It is possible to make a few decreases before the bottom ribs to give the t-shirt a blousing effect. The stitches of the sleeves are picked up then worked in the round in rolled jersey.
Two necklines are available: rounded and V-neck.
