Soltid Tee is also a part of the pattern Soltid but this pattern has instructions added for my faded version as requested by knitters.
If you have purchased the Soltid pattern, you will be offered this additional pattern for free.

The tee is worked top-down with a boatneck in rib, compound raglan shaping, and short sleeves in 4x4 rib.
Note! Only the pattern for Soltid includes instructions for both a blouse and a tank top with multiple options described. These options aren’t included in Soltid Tee, aside from the options to add bust darts and/or ease to the lower body.

Sizes XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL)
The most important thing for working this pattern is to choose the right size (and yarn to fit the gauge) so the fitted neckline and increases at yoke sit as intended when worn.
The tee is designed to be worn with no ease or up to a positive ease of 10cm/4” at circumference of full bust measurement
