SHORE TEE is a feminine top with a simple and graceful lace pattern. The design is worked from the top down. First the neck edge and the top part of the yoke is worked in rounds. The yoke is then divided into a front and back, and each section is worked back and forth to the bottom of the armholes. The back section is worked longer than the front section to push the shoulder line forward, which creates a comfortable fit. The body is then worked top down to the edge.
The sleeves are picked up from the armholes, shaped with short rows at the cap, and then worked top down in rounds.
Both the hem and sleeve edges are finished with short sections in twisted rib.
