Knitting kit - Stornoway Tee by Cheryl Mokhtari

The Stornoway Tee features stripes and texture, offering a relaxed and comfortable fit that provides an enjoyable knitting experience and a modern look.

The back is first knit flat (back and forth) with increases to form the shoulders. Stitches are then picked up to knit each shoulder while shaping the neckline. The front is then knit flat, and once completed, the front and back are joined, and stitches are cast on under the arms. The body is then knit in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neckline and knit in ribbing. All ribbed edgings are bound off using the Italian bind-off technique.
