Suitable for beginners and experienced knitters alike, this versatile tee is perfect for warmer seasons and beyond. Knitted with minimal or no positive ease in fingering weight yarn, it’s an excellent lightweight layering piece, ideal with the WAYFARER RAGLAN sweater for added warmth. Its simple design ensures both an enjoyable knitting experience and a garment that will become a wardrobe staple. The WAYFARER TEE, like the [WAYFARER RAGLAN][3], is seamlessly constructed from the top down. The neck is cast on using a long-tail method, with German short rows shaping the neck and shoulders, while raglan increases define the yoke. After separating the sleeves and body, the tee is worked in stockinette stitch to the desired length, finishing with a 1x1 rib and a bind off in pattern. **Sizing:** Please choose a size that is 0-4 cm/ 0-1.5 in larger than your actual chest circumference You can choose from 10 #sizeinclusive unisex sizes, with finished chest circumferences of: 84, 92.5, 100 [107.5, 115.5, 122.5] {131.5, 141, 148.5} 156 cm/ 33, 36.5, 39.25 [42.25, 45.5, 48.25] {51.75, 55.5, 58.5} 61.5 in.
