Construction notes
First, the top of the back is knitted with slanted shoulders. Then stitches are picked up for the front along the shoulder stitches of the back. Each side of the front is knitted separately. The slanted shoulders are shaped first with short rows, and then knitted to the beginning of the neckline curve. After that, stitches are picked up for the top of the sleeve, and the front, back, and sleeves are knitted together until the end of the armhole. From there, the body and sleeves are knitted separately. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckline edge along the neck hole.
Size guide
Julienne Tee is intended to have a positive ease of approx. 7-12 cm [3-5”], depending on how loosely fitting you want it to be. It is shown here with a positive ease of 8 cm [3“].
Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the widest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements given at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the tee). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the tee's measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm [37”], a size M would provide you with a positive ease of 10 cm [4”] (104 cm – 94 cm = 10 cm). [41” - 37” = 4”]
*The length is measured at the center back, excl. the neckline.
