Pattern available in English.

The Vara Mohair Tee is a sophisticated everyday top, characterized by delicate vertical lines and a soft, fluffy mohair texture. Perfect for cooler summer days and evenings, it can be worn casually or for dressier occasions.

The Vara Mohair Tee is knitted top-down. The upper back is worked flat first with increases to shape the shoulders. The shoulder sections are then knitted from stitches picked up along the back slope. The front is worked flat and then joined to the back under the armholes. The body is then knitted in the round on circular needles. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are knitted in the round. Finally, neck stitches are picked up and the neck is also worked in the round.

Size Guide

Sizes 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) are designed to fit a bust circumference of approximately:

• 80 to 85 cm (size 1)
• 85 to 88 cm (size 2)
• 88 to 95 cm (size 3)
• 95 to 100 cm (size 4)
• 100 to 110 cm (size 5)
• 110 to 120 cm (size 6)

The pattern is designed with approximately 20 to 25 cm of positive ease. For sizes 4 and 5, positive ease slightly decreases as bust circumference increases.

Example:
If your bust circumference is 89 cm, adding 20 to 25 cm of positive ease gives a desired final circumference of 109 to 114 cm. You should then choose size 3, which has a finished bust circumference of 113 cm.

The model wears size 2.
