This pattern is part of my BASICS collection. Basics are patterns exactly as well written as all my others but designed explicitly to fit knitters of all skills. They are simple, they are easy to modify and, in addition, they are at a very low price so that money is not inconvenient either.
Time to Turn Shirt is a basic pattern that fits perfectly. An easy pattern that you will work very quickly and a garment that you will wear all the time.
The body has a slight A-shape that is very comfortable and flattering.
It is worked top down, in the round and with a couple of "plot twist" to work the body from the wrong side of the work so that you will knit all time.
In this pattern you will find short rows, yarn over increases and stitches worked in the back loop (twisted). Still, the pattern is very simple and is perfectly suitable even if it is your first t-shirt/sweater. In addition, it includes access to explanatory videos of each technique in case there is one that you don't know or if you need to remember anything (videos are in Spanish, if you don't understand the language just look, knitting looks universal ).
In the pattern you will find videos of all the techniques used.

NEEDLES: 3.75 mm or the required needle size to obtain correct gauge - 40 cm length for the neckline and 80 cm and more as you go through the yoke and body [US 5 / 16 - 40”].
SLEEVES: Use your favorite needles and method to work small circumferences: double point needles, 80 cm lenght circular needles to work magic loop or the 23 cm minis.
BIND OFF: Use two sizes up needles (I used 4.5 mm; US 7) to work the bind off; this will prevent it from being too tight. You can also just bind off stitches trying not to pull too much.
