A simple classy top to wear on a warm day, for big and small girls.

Breezy Tee is a fun, fast, top-down seamless knit starting with a circular yoke. Increases are made with a simple kfb and there are stitch count charts to help you keep track. There are optional short rows (explained in the pattern) in the neckline for better shaping. Choose 8ply/DK cotton or other similar summer yarns for a soft summery tee.

The top is sized with a finished chest from 53 to 90 cm / 21 to 35.5”, roughly corresponding to 1-16 years, and is meant to be worn with zero to a few inches of ease. For best results, choose a size based on the child’s measurements rather than age.
