This t-shirt is worked bottom-up in two pieces, front and back, which are seamed together at the end. Begin by knitting the lace hem, then continue in stockinette stitch with increases to shape the armholes. On the front, the stitches are divided at the neckline, shoulders are shaped using short rows and left on hold. On the back, the work is divided to create a keyhole opening where a button will be sewn. Shoulders are also shaped with short rows and joined with the corresponding front stitches using a three-needle bind-off. Finally, front and back are seamed together.
