This T-shirt is worked top-down. We begin with the back, by working in short rows, we shape the back until we work across all sts. Then we continue straight to the sleeve hole.
Then we pick up stitches along the shoulder and work the front, each side at a time until we reach the sleeve hole, where everything is gathered and we knit in the round until the T-shirt has the length we wish.
