This crop tee is worked in the round from the bottom up with set-in sleeves. 

There is a faux seam along each side and along the inside of each sleeve.

A set of short rows shapes most of the capped sleeves with increases and decreases to create the puffs. Lots of stitch markers will help! See Needles and Notions.

The hem of this cropped tee will fall around your natural waistline, while the waist of the garment will be much higher than your natural waist. Use the schematic provided to choose the best size based on your measurements, and be sure to use the length measurement to help you find the waist of the garment on your body. 

Cotton yarn can be very stretchy and many plant fibers benefit from machine washing. The sample was washed on delicate and dried on low in a dryer. The gauge was taken after drying. Treat your swatch as you will treat your garment to determine the finished gauge before you begin.
