The Ida Tee is worked from the top down in a pattern of texture and contrast colored stripes. The first part of the yoke is worked flat, back and forth, while the neckline is being shaped. After this, the work is joined in the round, so the rest of the yoke can be worked in the round on the circular needle with raglan increases. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the neckline and a neck edge in rib is worked.
