If you buy the Breezy Tee & Skirt together, you get a 25% discount, no code needed!

The Breezy Tee is worked top down, with short rows & raglan increases. The Tee is knit with stockinette stitch with a lace pattern on the sleeves. The neckline & sleeve cuffs have a double knitted band to give the tee a beautiful finish, the hem is sewn to the wrong side so it stays stretchy. This pattern has charts.

I recommend doing the double knitted band for the neckline before continuing to work on the body & sleeves. Since this affects the fit quite a lot.

The Breezy Tee is designed with a 10 – 20 cm / 4 – 8” positive ease. The blue sample has longer sleeves. The samples are made in size 2 & my bust is approx 80 cm / 31½”.
