Ivy Tee - PetiteKnit

The Ivy Tee is knitted from top to bottom in one piece. The yoke is constructed so that first the shoulder increases are knitted, then the sleeve increases, and finally the raglan increases. Short rows are knitted to shape the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique.

Size Guide

The Ivy Tee should have a negative ease of about -2 cm compared 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 finished garment measurements are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around your bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A size S blouse has a finished bust width of 87 cm and in this example will give a negative ease of -3 cm. The measurement chart is available here.
