Busan tee is an airy and drapey tee for summer days. The tee is short, boxy, and perfect for high-waisted skirts or denim shorts. Busan tee features a large signature cable on the front, like the sweater version. The purl stitches for the raglan line continue down the sides of the body for added details.
CONSTRUCTION
Busan tee is worked top down. Begin at the neck with Tubular CO. Work the neckband in 1x1 rib in the round. The raglan lines are established for the gradual increases. The work is divided into body and sleeves when finished with the increases. The stitches for sleeves are put on hold while working the body first. The body's back and sides are shaped with German Short Rows. Sleeves are worked in the round separately.
