A creative collaboration with Kokon Yarn, Freya is an easy to wear, relaxed shape tee. Dimensional floral stitches featuring bobbles and lace adorn the front of the pullover. These are later embellished with tactile yarn ‘petals.’ This decorative element can easily be customized to suit a range of design sensibilities.
The pattern includes instructions for both a short sleeve and long sleeve version.

To fit bust size 70 (80, 90, 100, 110) (120, 130, 140, 150)cm / 28 (32, 36, 40, 44) (48, 52, 56, 60)”

Worn with 15-20cm / 6-8” of positive ease.

Sample shown in 100cm / 40” with approximately 15cm / 6” of positive ease.

To achieve the same look as the sample, choose a similar amount of positive ease. If between sizes, choose the next larger size for a looser fit, or smaller size for a closer fit.

Please note that due to the drop-shoulder construction, the armhole will fall around the upper arm/bicep. The sleeves are rather fitted, so verify that twice the armhole depth will fit around your upper arm.

Gauge
25 sts and 38 rows = 10cm / 4” in Stockinette Stitch using MC and larger needle, after
blocking.

27 sts and 38 rnds = 10cm / 4” in 1x1 Rib using MC and smaller needle, after blocking.

Always use a needle size that achieves the correct gauge.
