Ida Tee - PetiteKnit

The Ida Tee is knitted from top to bottom with a pattern of textured knitting and stripes. First, it is knitted back and forth on the needle to shape the neckline, and then the work is joined so that the rest of the yoke is knitted in the round on circular needles with raglan increases. Along the neckline, stitches are then picked up to knit a ribbed neckband.

Size guide

The Ida Tee should have a positive ease of about 6 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm, measured on the body. The measurements of the finished blouse are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will suit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A blouse in size S has a chest width of 96 cm and will in the mentioned example give a positive ease of 6 cm. A measurement chart is available here.
