It is a top-down raglan, initially worked flat and then joined in the round once the neckline has been shaped. The Shell Tee can be finished with either rib or i-cord details at the collar, cuffs, and hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is available in a 4-ply\/fingering and a DK weight. This kit is for the DK WEIGHT. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will begin by working raglan increases and neckline shaping back and forth in rows, and will then cast on new stitches to connect the right and left halves of the front section of the yoke. You will then continue to work raglan increases, with different increase rates to the sleeve and body sections towards the end of the yoke. Once the yoke is complete, you will work the length of the body. I next recommend applying the collar before finally working the sleeves in turn to your desired length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eyarn used; DK Merino Candytuft Umbelleta 75% merino 25% nylon 100g 225m \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlock Fiber Fest mini skein set in dk 10 x 20g \u003cspan\u003e75% merino 25% nylon 20g 45m \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Size A, B, C, D, E, F use 2 x 100g Main Colour and 2 x 20g packs of mini skeins \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize G, H, I, J, K, L use 3 x 100g Main Colour and 3 x 20g packs of mini skeins \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShell Tee DK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notes markdown core_item_content__text_block core_item_content__text_block--notes\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials and Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotions:\u003c\/strong\u003e You will need 3 mm \/ US 2.5 (40- and 80-cm \u003cspan\u003e16- and 32-in cord) and 4 mm \/ US 6 (40-, 60-, and 80-cm \/ 16-, 24- and 32-in cord circular needles.
