The Piazza tee is knitted seamlessly from the top down with crossing cable and lace patterns, little bobbles and textural moss stitch. The back and front are knitted flat down to the armholes. Then the pieces are joined and the body is knitted in the round. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and the tee has short row shaping for the sleeve caps. Lastly, stitches are picked up from the neck edge and worked in the round. All techniques are explained in the pattern.
