The Timotej Tee is a lightweight and breezy striped tee is perfect for those warm summer days! The medium sized stripes also makes this pattern perfect for using up scraps of you summer yarns. For an extra cool tee, use a yarn similar to the recommended Tynn Line, i.e. a linen and cotton blend, or a silk yarn.

The tee is available in 11 sizes with a finished bust circumference:
80 (89,5) 96 (105,5) 117 (126,5) 136 (145,5) 157 (166,5) 176 cm / 32 (35,75) 38,5 (42,25) 46,75 (50,5) 54,5 (58,25) 62,75 (66,5) 70,5” including the recommended positive ease of 8-10 cm / 3,25-4’’

Lenght from back neck (adjustable to preferences): 42 (42,5) 43 (43,5) 44 (45) 45 (45,5) 46 (46,5) 47 cm / 16,5 (16,75) 17 (17) 17,5 (17,75) 17,75 (18) 18 (18,5) 18,5”

The tee is worked as a modified drop-shoulder to accomodate for a wide range of sizes. The tee is knitted seamlessly top-down, starting at the back neck. After the back yoke has been worked, stitches are picked up along the shoulders, and the neckline is shaped using German short rows. The front and back yoke are then joined and the body is worked in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole, and all edges are finished with a folded hem, except at the neckline where and I-cord is applied.

All techniques are explained in the pattern, along with helpful tips to make your knitting all the more pleasant!
