Description

This top will be your perfect companion for the in-between seasons, spring or fall.

Yarn

You will need DK weight yarn to knit it.

I used Natissea Linae (95% linen, 5% cotton) 190 m / 100 g to knit it in size 6 with an ease of 25 cm.

Approximately 711 [791, 872, 930)(1041, 1165, 1242)(1403, 1493) m or 4 (5, 5, 5)(6, 7, 7)(8, 8) skeins in Vermei color

Gauge

22 stitches / 28 rows in stockinette stitch in the round for 10 cm after blocking with 3.25 mm needles

Notions

• 2.75 mm circ. needle 80 cm long for the neckline
• 3.25 mm circ. needle, 80 to 100 cm long depending on the size
• 5 3.25 mm DPN for small circumferences (sleeves) if needed
• 1 tapestry needle
• 12 markers if necessary.
• 1 hook 3.5 mm

Final measurements

88 (94 : 107 ; 115.5)(126.5 ; 137 ; 145.5)(156.5 ; 164.5) cm chest circumference

Construction

This t-shirt is knitted in one piece using the set-in sleeve method, starting at the shoulders. The back and front are then worked flat before being joined in the round. The sleeves are separated from the body after the yoke and will be picked up later.
This t-shirt is worn with a positive ease of 10 to 20 cm.
