This shirt was originally designed as a solid-colored top, but as these 3 colors are made to be worked together, I couldn’t resist and gave them a try. And the result does not disappoint, right?! The Summer in Kashmir yarn is a perfect smooth luxury summer yarn that creates a very soft and pleasant fabric.
This simple shaped T-shirt features some interesting techniques and finishing touches.
You start top down with a little contrast folded collar. The construction is similar to a classical raglan style, but you work increases not only besides the typical raglan columns, but in the three front panels in garter stitch to create long triangles that run into the hem later. The hem and cuffs are worked double with some interesting color features. You never get bored during the knitting although there is a lot of stockinette stitch involved, but the decreases and garter-stitch portions, as well as the color changes every other round, makes it interesting without being too complicated.
