The Coco Tee is a boxy and relaxed knitted t-shirt that is effortless to wear and style in many different ways. I would recommend using a cotton, silk, viscose, or linen blend for the best drape. This is the perfect project to use beautiful hand-dyed yarns, as the plain Stockinette stitch fabric really lets the yarn take the center stage.

The Coco Tee is knitted seamlessly top down. The neckline is tight-fitting and quite high, and the top of the back is shaped with German short rows to improve the fit around the neck. The shoulders are sloped and worked by increasing stitches along the shoulder line. After finishing the increases the front and back are separated and knitted separately to create the sleeve openings. After that, the pieces are joined again in the round and worked seamlessly down to the hem. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the sleeve openings and worked in the round. You can easily try the Coco Tee on as you knit it and adjust the measurements to your own body measurements.
