The construction of this design is knit top down seamlessly and in the round. The t-shirt features a casual v-neck that isn’t too deep. All edges (sleeve hems, bottom hem, and v-neck edge) feature I-cord detailing. The increases used are the Lli + Rli increases, making them nice, subtle and delicate looking. The length is fully customizable, however, it is intended to be long enough to tuck in the front of a cute pair of jeans for the spring and have a nice loose flow to the shirt.

The t-shirt includes positive ease of roughly about 4-6” depending on which size you choose

Size Options: (based on bust measurement in inches)
XXS (XS, S , M , L , XL)2XL , 3XL , 4XL , 5XL, 6XL

BUST MEASURMENT - XXS 25-28” (XS 29-32”, S 33-36” , M 37-40” , L 41-44” , XL 45-47”) 2XL 48-52” , 3XL 53-56” , 4XL 57-60” , 5XL 61-64”, 6XL 65-68”

FINISHED PIECE MEASURMENT - XXS 31” (XS 35”, S 39” , M 43” , L 47” , XL 51”) 2XL 54” , 3XL 59” , 4XL 63” , 5XL 67”, 6XL 71”

Ease:
4-6” of positive ease, meaning this design should fit relatively loose unless you size down and lose out on positive ease. If in between sizes, I recommend deciding wether you would like a looser fit or a more snug fit and choose based off of your preferred ease.

Yarn:
I used - Illimani Sabri which is an 85% cotton 15% baby alpaca blend (fingering weight)
For this design feel free to use any Fingering/Sock weight yarn that meets gauge.
(Ideally if subbing yarn, I would recommend a similar yarn to Sabri in fibre content, however this is not mandatory at all. As long as gauge is met properly any yarn in this weight category will work perfectly.)

Yardages by size:
Yards= XXS 300 (XS 490, S 730, M 970, L 1,210, XL 1,450) 2XL 1,690, 3XL 1,930, 4XL 2,170, 5XL 2,410, 6XL 2,650
Meters= XXS 275 (XS 450, S 670, M 885, L 1,105, XL 1,325 ) 2XL 1,545, 3XL 1,765, 4XL 1,985, 5XL 2,205, 6XL 2,425

Please note that these yardages are approximate and I have included roughly 10% additional yards for good measure

Needles Used:
US3/3.25MM (32” circulars, or larger circumference as needed)
US3/3.25MM DPN’s or 16” or 9” (sock) needles for sleeves, whichever your preferred length is.
* or whichever size needles needed to meet gauge *
