Orsonero tee

**About the pattern** The Orsonero Tee is worked from the top down in separate pieces. First, the back and front pieces are worked flat. The shoulders are then knitted separately and shaped with German Short Rows to create a raised back neckline for a comfortable fit. Once all pieces are complete, they are joined using a decorative V-seam along the raglan lines. The body is then worked in the round with decreases. Optional horizontal bust darts can be incorporated at this point for a more customized fit, adding extra length over the bust without adding width. A ribbed waistband is worked across the back only, while the front remains in stockinette stitch, creating a fitted silhouette. The body is then continued in stockinette stitch. The sleeves are completed by picking up stitches around the armholes and working them in the round. The body, sleeves, and neckline are finished with folded hems. **Sizes** *Note: I am working on expanding my size range, so if you are interested in this pattern and dont find your size, message me on instagram @elvedahlthreads if you are interested in testing!* The Orsonero Tee is designed to be worn with 5-10 cm of negative ease at the bust.
