The TEREAtop is a summery T-shirt with simple but effective geometrical and structured details.
It’s worked top-down with raglan increases, which are partially placed at center front to get an eye-catching line running into the broken rib triangle at the bottom. Sleeves are worked in broken rib while the fronts and back are worked in stockinette stitch. The hem starts with a lateral braid, which is connected to the triangle-framed stitch lines. Hem and sleeves are finished with a tubular bind-off for a professional look.
