ALMA Tee (EN)

Needle size US 15 – 10.0 mm Gauge 10 stitches Difficulty 2 = Lower Intermediate, 3 = Intermediate ADD TO BASKET MODEL DESCRIPTION The ALMA Tee is a cropped, boxy sweater with short sleeves. It is worked from the top down in one piece. You will start by casting on stitches for the neckline, using a crochet hook. You will initially work the shoulder yoke back and forth, with short rows, then work in the round, making increases at the shoulders. After the yoke is finished, you will separate the work into front and back and work the pieces separately down to the depth of the armholes, then join in the round again and work the body in the round to the end. The sleeves are worked in the round, from stitches that you will pick up around the armholes. The stripes are described in the pattern and the detailed instructions also include a model sketch with all measurements.
