Procedure
The T-shirt is worked in the round from the top down. Stitches are cast on using either a provisional crochet cast-on, allowing the neckline to be adjusted later, or an Italian cast-on. Short rows are worked at the beginning across the shoulders and back of the neck to shape the neckline and ensure a good fit. The yoke is then worked in the round with raglan increases. The work is subsequently divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately. The length of both the body and sleeves can easily be adjusted, making it simple to knit them shorter or longer as desired.
