Ivy Tee
The Ivy Tee is worked seamlessly from the top down in one piece. The yoke is constructed with shoulder increases on the first section. On the next section increases are worked on the sleeves only, and on the final section classic raglan increases are worked on both body and sleeves. Short rows are worked to shape the neckline. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loops technique.
Size guide
The Ivy Tee is designed to have approx. -2 cm [¾ inches] of negative ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. -2 cm [¾ inches] smaller 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 tee can be found on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the correct gauge is maintained throughout). 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 87 cm [34¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 3 cm [1¼ inches] of negative ease.
