Ida TEE Pattern English

Ida TEE pattern by Petiteknit

- Knitting pattern in English, in print only

The Ida Tee is worked from the top down in a pattern of texture and contrast colored stripes. The first part of the yoke is worked flat, back and forth, while the neckline is being shaped. After this, the work is joined in the round, so the rest of the yoke can be worked in the round on the circular needle with raglan increases. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the neckline and a neck edge in rib is worked.

Size guide

The Ida Tee is designed to have approx. 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 6 cm [2¼ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater can be found on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S tee has a bust circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease.
