Paloma T-shirt With Puff Sleeves

Summertime and sunshine call for light styles, bare arms, and go-to comfortable T-shirt favorites. Paloma is a feminine and relaxed T-shirt with pretty puff sleeves – perfect for warm days and long, bright evenings. Style it with a breezy maxi skirt, sandals, and a sun hat, and you’re ready for summer in the most beautiful Nordic look. Paloma is both fun and easy to knit.

Knit it in one strand Önling No 14, our 100% Lyocell yarn with a light, silky sheen that makes it ideal for summer knitting. Alternatively, you can knit it in one strand Önling No 21 (cotton and linen) held together with one strand Önling No 13 (lambswool and cashmere), or in our Everyday Kit – both options create a more casual, everyday look. The fit is classic, with approx. 5–8 cm / 2–3 inches of positive ease relative to your bust measurement.

Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.

Procedure
The T-shirt is worked in the round from the top down. Stitches are cast on using either a provisional crochet cast-on, allowing the neckline to be adjusted later, or an Italian cast-on. Short rows are worked at the beginning across the shoulders and back of the neck to shape the neckline and ensure a good fit. The yoke is then worked in the round with raglan increases. The work is subsequently divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately. The length of both the body and sleeves can easily be adjusted, making it simple to knit them shorter or longer as desired.
