Fasten off. Weave in ends and block both rectangles.

Sewing

Lay one rectangle on top of the other, lining up the edges.

With your yarn needle and a long piece of yarn, start at the bottom of one edge and begin sewing both rectangles together up one side. Stop sewing when you get to 7-10” unworked for armhole. Fasten off and weave in ends. Repeat on the other side.

Attach yarn to the top corner of your rectangles and sew together 10 stitches if you want an off the shoulder top or more stitches together for a more basic tee fit. Do the same on the other side, making sure to leave enough room for your head to go through.

Fasten off. Weave in ends.
