Construction

The T-shirt is knitted from top to bottom with a circular yoke. Short rows are used to lengthen the back. These rows are knitted flat on the circular needle, just after the ribbed edge. The yoke is knitted in the round, then the sleeves and body are separated and knitted separately.

Sizing guide

The Tulipan Tee is designed to have approximately 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4’’) of positive ease, depending on the desired fit. It is shown here with 12 cm (4.75’’ – blue version) and 8 cm (3.25’’ – other version) of ease.

Measure your bust circumference (or the widest part of your bust). Compare it to the measurements indicated at the beginning of the pattern (which correspond to the final dimensions of the T-shirt). Positive ease is the difference between your measurement and that of the finished garment.

Example: if your bust circumference is 94 cm (37’’), size M will give you a positive ease of 10 cm (4’’):
104 cm – 94 cm = 10 cm (41’’ – 37’’ = 4’’).

Length is measured at the center back, not including the neckline.
