Procedure
The T-shirt is worked in the round, from the top down. You cast on using a temporary crochet cast-on, so the size of the neckline can be adjusted subsequently. Short rows are worked across the shoulder and the neckline at the beginning to give a higher neckline in the back. The yoke is worked with raglan increases and with deep armholes. Hereafter the work is divided, and both sleeves and body are worked separately.
