Selecting a size
Sommer Dahlia has an intented positive ease of 5-12 cm [2-6 inches]. It is shown with approx. 10 cm [4 inches] of positive ease.
Find your personal size by measuring yourself around the chest (or the largest part of the body).
Then look at the measurements at page 1 (this is the finished measurements of the Tee).
Positive ease is the difference between your bust circumference and the bust circumference of the Tee.
Is your bust circumference e.g. 94 cm [37 inches], a size M will give you 8 cm [3 inches] of positive ease.
(102 cm – 94 cm = 8 cm).
[40 inches – 37 inches = 3 inches].
The length is measured at the centre back, including the neckband.
Construction note
Clover Tee is worked top-down. After the neckband the yoke with lace pattern is worked and finally the sleeves and body are separated and worked one at a time.
