The sizes in this pattern do not follow a uniform increase, because there are 20 stitches in the yoke pattern, so the number of stitches in the yoke is partly the same in adjacent sizes, the difference is caused by how wide the bottom part you need.

When thinking about the appropriate measurements for a shirt, it is worth digging out your favorite shirt from the closet and measuring the length from armpit to hem, the circumference under the armpit and the sleeve length from armpit to cuff. As humans, we have very different lengths of arms and bodies, measuring in advance always brings the best result.

Yarn consumption Alafosslopi 100gr skein (or Lettlopi double 2x50g skein)
Yarn consumption is always indicative, the final consumption always depends on your own choices, e.g. in terms of the length of the songs
