• Step 1

  A B O U T
  Construction notes: ↬ After selecting your size, before beginning, use a highlighter or pen to indicate each corresponding number for your chosen size where listed in the pattern.

  ↬Tee is worked flat from end to end, and sts are picked up along the edge and knit in garter stitch to create a gentle sleeve edge. Sides are then seamed and the collar and hem edges are left raw.

  ↬Main piece is worked in woven st, with what would normally be considered the WS used as the RS.

  ↬Extra length is worked in the back to give the armhole a bit more room, and move the neckline forward just a bit.

• Step 10

  Customize it: *Measurements given are the final garment size. To add or remove room in the body, decide how many inches you will need to add or remove for comfort, use the formula below to decide how many sts you will need to add:
  ____ in X ___sts per in = ___sts.

  Once you’ve added these sts, be sure to adjust your st totals! Keep this in mind when working the collar, your shoulder sts will need to be adjusted as well.

  *To add or remove length in the body, simply add or remove rnds using the following formula:
  ___ in X ___rows per in = ___ rows.
