Carlie Tee

A wardrobe staple, the basic tee is taken to a new knitting level by our Carlie Tee: top down and seamless, it features an interesting simultaneous saddle shoulder construction that is both fun to knit and flattering to wear. The Carlie Tee, worked with two strands together, begins with a double ribbed neckband, and continues in stockinette stitch with a combination of short row shaping and increases that raise the back neckline and create the saddle shoulder seams. Shaping continues to the armholes, where sleeves and body stitches are divided. The short sleeves and the body are finished with deep ribbed edges. The Carlie Tee is size inclusive, and is designed to be worn hip length and with a positive ease of approx. 4 - 12 cm [1¼ - 4¾]". **Sizes:** XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) **Finished measurements:** Length from shoulder to hem: 51 (53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 65, 67, 70) cm [20½ (21, 21¾, 22½, 23¼, 24, 25½, 26½, 27½)]"; chest circumference: 91 (95, 102, 110, 118, 126, 136, 144, 152) cm [35¾ (37½, 40¼, 43¼, 46½, 49½, 53½, 56¾, 59¾)]"; sleeve length from underarm to cuff: 9.5 (9.5, 10, 10, 10.5, 10.5, 11, 11, 11) cm [3¼ (3¼, 4, 4, 4¼, 4¼, 4½, 4½, 4½]" **Yarn:** 1 strand of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair (70% mohair, 30% silk; 225 m [246 yd] per 25 gr [0.9 oz]), lace-weight yarn, 4 (4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6) balls; and 1 strand of Knitting for Olive Merino or Cotton Merino or Pure Silk, (250 m [273 yd] per 50 gr [1.8 oz]), fingering-weight yarn, 3 (3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6) balls; The sample is in size M in Soft Silk Mohair, Soft Blue colorway, and Merino, Soft Blue colorway **Needles:** 4.5 mm / US7 and 3.5 mm / US4 circular needles in cable length 80 cm [32]", and 3.5 mm / US4 double-pointed needles, in size to obtain gauge, and 2.5 mm / US1.5 circular needle for Italian bind off method **Gauge:** 20 sts and 30 rows = 10 cm [4"] in stockinette stitch with 4.5 mm / US7 needles **Notions:** Stitch markers (1 in unique color), waste yarn or stitch holders, tapestry needle
