Tombo Tee

The Tombo Tee is my take on the perfect everyday striped t-shirt. It is knitted from the top down, flat at first to shape the neckline, and then in the round. It uses a saddle shoulder construction which later transitions into raglan increases. The design carefully considers the placement of the stripes to ensure a neat look. Sizes: (A, B, C) *(D, E, F)* (G, H, I) Measurements: The sizes are designed to fit a natural bust measurement of (75, 85, 95) *(105, 115, 125)* (135, 145, 155) cm with approximately 8-12cm of positive ease. The finished garment measures approximately (85, 95, 105) *(115, 125, 135)* (145, 155, 165) cm around the bust. Needles: 3mm circular needles (60 or 80cm length), 2.5mm circular needles (60 or 80cm length), either 3mm and 2.5mm DPNs or 80/100cm circular needles for working with the magic loop technique. Gauge: 27 stitches x 40 rows on 3mm needles Yarn: Saffira by Pascuali Filati Naturali (2, 3, 3) (3, 4, 4) (5, 5, 6) skeins of MC (2, 2, 3) (3, 3, 4) (4, 5, 5) skeins of CC If you wish to make the t-shirt in a single colour, you will instead need (4, 5, 5) (6, 7, 7) (8, 9, 10) skeins. Alternatively, use the following amounts of a yarn of your choice which meets gauge: (380, 450, 510) (580, 660, 740) (860, 960, 1060) m of MC (320, 380, 430) (490, 560, 630) (730, 810, 890) m of CC Or (700, 820, 940) (1080, 1220, 1370) (1580, 1770, 1950) m of a single colour. Notions: Stitch markers (including one distinctive marker for the beginning of round), needle to weave in ends, scrap yarn or spare cables to hold sleeve stitches, thin elastic thread for the collar.
