The Football Jersey is a knitted raglan t-shirt, where sporty stripes and sharp edges create a football-inspired look. Perfect for the football-loving knitter – or for a lucky football fan in your life.

Needles: Circular needle size 4 mm (60, 80 or 100 cm – depending on the increasing number of stitches) and circular needle size 3.5 mm for the edges
Knitting tension: One strand on needle size 4 mm in stocking stitch with color change: 10 x 10 cm = 21 sts x 26 rows after washing and blocking

Sizes: 1 (2)
“Girlfriend”-fit: Size 1
“Boyfriend”-fit: Size (2)
The Girlfriend-fit is designed to fit closer to the body, while the Boyfriend-fit has a more oversized silhouette.

Bust measurement (body measurement, not the garment): 85-90 (100-105) cm
The measurements above are guidelines. The size is chosen based on the desired fit, so no specific ease is provided for each size. The t-shirt can be adjusted to be either more fitted or looser depending on your choice of size and modifications.

Ease & Fit:
• Size 1 has a more fitted shape with neutral to slight positive ease.
• Size 2 is designed to fit looser on the body, providing more positive ease.

Between two sizes or unsure which one to choose?*
Both sizes start the same, so you can begin by knitting Size 1. Once the yoke is finished, you can try on the t-shirt and assess the fit. If you want more width, you can use the included adjustment options or continue following Size 2. The pattern includes instructions for adding 5-10 cm of extra circumference to each size—without extending the yoke itself.**
