design : Noriko Ichikawa
Description
CONSTRUCTION
The Back Yoke Tee features a split yoke on the back. The slightly loose yoke, body, and sleeves create a light and airy silhouette.
It begins with the shoulders and back worked sideways. Stitches are then picked up for the front and back, joined at the underarms, and worked in the round down to the hem. The sleeves and collar are also picked up from the body, worked in the round, and finished with a folded edge to match the hem.
It is knitted top-down, making it easy to adjust the length while trying it on and offers two lengths for the body and sleeves (short and standard versions).
