PATTERN NOTES
Tee is worked from the top down, from the back shoulders to the underarm. Fronts are worked down from foundation chain to
underarm and then top is worked in joined rounds from underarm to hem.
Weave in ends as work progresses.
Join rounds with a slip stitch unless otherwise stated.
Chain-2 at the beginning of a row or round counts as first double crochet unless otherwise stated.
When working front post and back post stitches, always bring loop up a little so stitch is not too tight.
Mandala yarn can be cut and worked for stripes to be single, specific colors or can be worked continuously for variegated
random stripes.
Carry MC up the wrong side of the work when not in use and fasten off each CC stripe after completion.
