Knitting kit - MINI Tee by Susanne Müller

The MINI Tee is a simple, fitted t-shirt that can be customized to perfectly fit your figure. Versatile, it can be easily worn with a multitude of outfits and is an ideal piece for spring and summer.

The garment is knitted seamlessly, from the top down. The neckline is first shaped using short rows, then the knitting continues in the round with increases for the body and sleeves. Once the raglan increases are finished, the work is separated to finish the body and sleeves individually. The body can be adapted to your body shape with bust darts and/or waist shaping. Since the pattern is knitted from the top down, you can try it on regularly while knitting to achieve a perfect fit.

Techniques used:

• Japanese short rows
• Left and right leaning lifted increases
• Left and right leaning decreases
