Knitting Kit - Poppy Tee by Petiteknit

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry here. 

Pattern available in French and English. 

The Poppy Tee is worked from the top down. First, the upper back is worked with increases, then the shoulders are shaped by picking up and knitting stitches along the slanted edges of the back yoke. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the sides of the shoulders, and the rest of the yoke is worked together on the circular needle, first flat, then in the round. The body is worked in the round on a circular needle, and the sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. Finally, a folded neckline with integrated double knitting is worked.

Start by knitting a swatch to determine the needle size needed to achieve the correct gauge. Wash and block the swatch before measuring. Please note: if you use the recommended yarn, the fabric may stretch after washing — which is why it is important to wash the swatch before measuring your gauge.
