Lima Tee
Lima, pronounced as “lee-ma,” is a top-down yoked tee featuring an engaging all-over texture pattern that is both enjoyable and easy to remember. Named after one of my favorite coffee spots in Fort Collins, Colorado, it works up quickly using a DK weight yarn and includes instructions for adjusting the body and sleeve lengths. Wear it casually over a dress or pair it with jeans for a versatile look. The Lima tee effortlessly combines comfort and style, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe.
Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
Finished bust circumference: 34 (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62) inches. Shown worn with no ease. For a looser fit, choose a finished size a bit larger than your actual bust measurement.
Yarn:
Emma’s Yarn Simply Spectacular DK, 75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon, 255 yards / 100g. 3 (3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7) skeins.
or
640 (670, 715, 745, 910, 965, 995, 1030, 1175, 1255, 1315, 1350, 1465, 1505, 1565) yards of a dk weight yarn.
Needles and Notions: US size 6 (4 mm) or size needed for gauge: circular needles in varying lengths for yoke and body, and DPNs (or preferred needle for working small circumference in the round) for sleeves. Stitch marker, stitch holders or waste yarn, and a tapestry needle.
US Size 5 or 1 size smaller than your gauge needle.
Gauge: 20 sts and 28 rounds = 4 inches, in pattern (worked in the round and blocked). Take time to check gauge, measure pre-blocked and blocked. Consider knitting the Lima cowl as your gauge swatch!
