Construction
Springline Tee is a drop shoulder sweater worked from the top down. The back of the sweater is cast on at the shoul- ders. Left and right front shoulders are picked up from the cast on edge and worked flat with shaping for the neck- line. Sweater front and back are worked flat with shaping to the sleeve depth and then the body is joined to work in the round. Sleeves are picked up and knit downward. The body, neckband and cuffs are finished with 2x2 rib and a tubular bind off.
