Notes

This was my first summer knit and I was not prepared for how long it would take! That said, this was a lovely tee and the pattern was very easy to read and follow.

I did make it slightly longer than the pattern called for. In hindsight I probably didn’t need to do that because the finished product did grow more than my swatch did, but I’m not mad about it. I also think I could have sized down. I made the 2XL based on my bust size which is 45” around. That said, I’m an F cup and I do think that the boxiness of the tee fit overall did make this slightly too roomy. If I ever made this again I would size down and deal with a little negative ease at the bust. Finally, I could not pick up the right number of stitches around the neckline. Just couldn’t do it. So I picked up uneven amounts of stitches on each side of the neck and it looks totally fine.
