Knitting Kit - Sommer Ella by LE KNIT

Even though it looks complex, this very delicate leaf pattern yoke is not difficult to knit.
The t-shirt has a cropped and slightly loose fit. It is knitted from top to bottom, with a higher back neck (after the ribbing) to ensure a good fit.

Sizing Guide

The Sommer Ella is designed with 5-12 cm [2-5 inches] of positive ease. It is shown with approximately 8 cm [3 inches] of positive ease.

To choose your size, measure your bust circumference (or the widest part of your body).
Then, refer to the measurements indicated on page 1 (finished garment measurements).

Positive ease is the difference between your bust circumference and that of the garment.
For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm [37 inches], a size M will give you 12 cm [4¾ inches] of positive ease (106 cm – 94 cm = 12 cm).

Length is measured mid-back, including the neckband.

Construction

Sommer Ella is knitted top-down. After the neckband, short rows are worked to lower the front neckline relative to the back. Then, the yoke with the lace pattern is knitted, raglan increases are made, and then the sleeves and body are separated and knitted individually.
