Size guide
Plain Yoke Tee 28 is intended to have a positive ease of approx. 6-14 cm 2.25-5.5”, depending on how loosely fitting you want it to be. It is shown here with a positive ease of 8 cm 3.25“.
Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the widest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements given at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the tee). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the tee measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm 37”, a size M would provide you with a positive ease of 7 cm 3”m – 94 cm = 7 cm). 39.75” - 37” = 2.75”.
The length is measured at the center back.

Construction note, detailed edition (in the picture)
Plain Yoke Tee 28 is knitted top-down with a raised back neck, created using German short rows (GSR). This means that when working the short rows, you work back and forth in
stockinette stitch (knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side). Apart from the short rows,
the tee is worked in knit stitches only. The yoke is shaped with increases.

Construction note, novice edition
Plain Yoke Tee 28 is knitted top-down. Everything is worked in stockinette stitch,
meaning the tee is worked in knit stitches only. The round yoke is shaped with increases. The only difference compared to the “detailed edition” is that ”novice edition” is worked the same way both in the front and back in the neck section.
