This pattern has been created through Knit for Wildlife’s “Knitters in Residence”. Exploring the global decline of seabirds through the remarkable story of Vega World Heritage. A unique symbiosis between people and eiders.

This tee is worked from the top down. The collar is worked in one piece, with circular needles, after which the yoke and wings will be worked separately on the flat and seamed afterwards. The body is worked in the round to the hem. The hem is finished with a 2x2 ribbing.

Sizes:
S (M, L, XL)
Choose a size with approximately 10 cm of positive ease at the chest, relative to the circumference of your body under the arms. See pattern notes for adjustment suggestions.
