Knitting For Olive Rib Tee

Knitting For Olive Rib Tee Pattern + Yarns

Rib Tee features an allover ribbed pattern and a raglan construction. It is worked from the top down in the round using either 1 strand of Merino or Pure Silk. Sleeve length and body length can easily be adjusted to your own liking. The pattern gives instructions for both a short-sleeved and a long-sleeved version. Rib Tee is intended to be fitted and is therefore designed with negative ease. The allover rib pattern creates an elastic fabric that will stretch to give a good fit. The length of the body will be shorter when worn compared to measurements taken flat. To choose the correct size, look at the ‘to fit chest circumference’ measurements on the previous page. If your actual chest circumference is, say, 98 cm [38½”], you should choose to knit a size M in order to achieve the intended fit.
