Knitting Kit - Etta Tee by Moreca knit

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

Pattern available in French and English. 

The dark grey t-shirt is knitted with Kumula color 540 and Cashmere Lace color 540 from Gepard Garn.

PATTERN OVERVIEW

The Etta Tee is knitted top-down in stockinette stitch.

You begin with the back, worked flat with increases to shape the shoulder slope, then continue down to the armholes. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulders to knit the left and right front sections separately, with increases to shape the neckline. The two front sections are then joined and worked together down to the armholes.

Stitches are cast on under the arms, then the body is joined to be worked in the round down to the hem, finished with a 2x2 ribbing.

The sleeves are then picked up around the armholes. They are first shaped using short rows, then knitted in the round with decreases and finished with 2x2 ribbing.

Finally, the neckline is completed with a 2x2 ribbing.

SIZE GUIDE

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are suitable for a bust circumference of:

80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm

The Etta Tee has a relaxed fit with approximately 15 cm of positive ease. Larger sizes have slightly less ease to ensure a balanced and comfortable fit.

This means the finished garment will measure approximately 15 cm more than your bust circumference, depending on the chosen size.

Example: if your bust circumference is 95 cm, choose size M. The finished garment will then measure 110 cm in bust circumference, which is approximately 15 cm of positive ease.
