A relaxed T-shirt with a ribbed round neckband, sewn with either short or long sleeves — both sleeve patterns are included in one file.
Cut from soft, low-elastane jersey or interlock, this pattern is sized 18 months to 10 years.

Use a jersey or stretch needle. If you don't have a serger, use zigzag or another stretch stitch, and finish the hem with a double needle.
