RIPPLE_LOOP_TEE
The t-shirt is worked from top to bottom. First the back piece is worked back and forth with short rows at the same time as the rib pattern is established. When short rows are complete, the piece is continued in the drop stitch pattern, before finally working increases for the armholes.

The shoulders are then worked individually. Short rows are also worked here, and the rib pattern is established at the same time. Then the shoulders are worked in the drop stitch pattern while increases are worked for the neck opening. Both shoulders are then joined for the front piece, and the front piece is worked in the drop stitch pattern, then finally with increases for the armholes. 

Then the back piece and front piece are joined for the body, which is worked in the round. The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches along the armholes. First, they are worked back and forth with short rows and in the rib pattern, then they are worked in the round in the drop stitch pattern. 

The neckband is worked in ribbing and finished with 4 rounds of double knitting and finished with Italian bind off.
