Maranta Tee – by Sonja Bargielowska
The Maranta Tee is knitted flat in two pieces, from the bottom up, and seamed. Neck and Sleeve edgings are then picked up and knitted in the round. Broken Rib details emphasise the diagonal side seam. If you would prefer longer sleeves, then simply cast on more stitches at the underarms. Pattern indicates where to add body length, if desired. If doing either of these things, please bear in mind that you may need additional yarn.
