The Aura Tee is an elegant and timeless design that combines simplicity with refined details. The delicate sleeves and the beautiful button placket along one shoulder give the sweater a unique and feminine touch. This design strikes a balance between classic elegance and modern aesthetics, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe.

Process:
The Aura Tee is knitted from the top down. First, the back piece is knitted, and then the shoulders are shaped by increases, leading to the front piece. Once the back and front pieces are joined, the body is knitted. After that, stitches are picked up for the sleeves, and finally, the collar is knitted. All ends are woven in at the end.

Size guide:
This sweater should have a movement allowance of approx. 12-19 cm 4.72-7.48 inches in relation to your bust measurement, depending on how you want the fit. The sizes 3XS (2XS) XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a body bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-105) 105-110 (110-115) 115-120 (120-125) 125-130 cm 29.53-31.50 (31.50-33.46) 33.46-35.43 (35.43-37.40) 37.40-39.37 (39.37-41.34) 41.34-43.31 (43.31-45.28) 45.28-47.24 (47.24-49.21) 49.21-51.18 inches.
