Construction notes

First, the upper back is knitted with sloping shoulders.
Then, stitches are picked up for the front along the shoulder stitches of the back. Each side of the front is knitted separately.

The sloping shoulders are first shaped with short rows, then knitted up to the beginning of the neckline curve.

After that, stitches are picked up for the top of the sleeves, then the front, back, and sleeves are knitted together until the end of the armholes.

From there, the body and sleeves are knitted separately.

Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline to create the collar trim.

Sizing guide

The Julienne Tee is designed with approximately 7 to 12 cm of positive ease, depending on the desired style (more or less loose).
The model shown has 8 cm of positive ease.

To choose your size:

1. Measure your bust circumference (or the widest part of your upper body).
2. Compare with the measurements indicated at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished garment measurements).

Positive ease corresponds to the difference between your personal measurement and that of the garment.

Example:
If your bust circumference is 94 cm, size M will give you a positive ease of 10 cm.

The length is measured at the centre back, not including the neckline.
