Lily in Stripes

This tee is knitted in the round from the top down. The shoulders are shaped with increases on both RS and WS rows while the v-neck is shaped with increases. The front and the back are then worked flat separately to create arm openings, and joined again in the round to work to the hem. The tee is finished with an i-cord edging. The sewn-on buttons are decorative only and the faux button placket promises a good fit of the top - no gapping of the fabric and no unwanted glimpses between the buttons! The v-neck can be worn front or back, depending on your mood. Instructions are written for 3 options for armhole finishing that are worked in the round: sleeveless, short sleeves and 4/5 length sleeves. Skill level: intermediate **Sizes** Recommended to be worn with approximately 15-30 cm / 6-12” positive ease. Measure around the chest and choose the size that fits best. For slim women I’d recommend to choose a size with more ease as for full figured women.
