Maude Tee - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

It looks so beautiful in Merino from Knitting for Olive together with Silk Mohair from Isager.

The Maude Tee is knitted from top to bottom in one piece. First, the collar is knitted, then the yoke, and finally the body and sleeves. The collar is knitted in the round so that it appears stockinette stitch from both the front and back sides. The blouse's button bands are knitted with double knitting, so they appear stockinette stitch on both sides. The neckline is shaped using short rows. The yoke itself is knitted with raglan increases.

Note that the pattern uses techniques such as Judy’s Magic Cast On, German Short Rows, and double knitting, and several of these techniques are used simultaneously – therefore, the pattern should be read thoroughly and step by step, especially on the yoke, while knitting.

Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.

Size guide

The Maude Tee should have a positive ease of about 10 cm relative to your bust measurement (i.e., the blouse should be about 10 cm larger than you in circumference). The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, taken on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished blouse are given on the front of the pattern. Note: These measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size suits 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 blouse in size S has a bust width of 99 cm and will, in the mentioned example, give a positive ease of 9 cm.
