Knitting kit - Anker's Summer Shirt by Petiteknit

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

Pattern available in French and English. 

Anker's Summer Shirt is worked from the top down.
The yoke is worked in sections of rib with increases in the round, followed by classic raglan increases when the stockinette stitch section begins. The sleeves are worked at the end, either on double-pointed needles or on circular needles using the Magic Loop technique.

Anker’s Summer Shirt requires no finishing other than weaving in ends.

Start by making a swatch to determine the needle size needed to achieve the correct gauge. Please note that the swatch must be washed and blocked before measuring the gauge.

Size guide

Anker’s Summer Shirt is designed to have approximately 0-5 cm [0-2 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is intended to be 0-5 cm [0-2 inches] larger than your widest upper body measurement.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a chest circumference of:

• 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm
  [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39¼) 39¼-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches]

The measurements of the finished garment can be found on the first page of the pattern (note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is met).

Before you begin your project, measure yourself at the chest (or at the widest part of your upper body) to determine the size that will best fit you.
For example, if you measure 95 cm [37½ inches], you should knit a size M. A size M shirt has a finished circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches], which in this example gives 1 cm [½ inch] of positive ease.
