Cima Tee

This airy summer tee has a beautiful lace pattern, which looks nice on both the inside and the outside. The lace looks complicated but is in reality very easy to work! The tee is part of a series of models I have named after my favorite small towns in Italy. Cima is a tiny town, and home to the first pizzeria I visited after moving here; the lovely Taverna D’Andrea!   Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL Bust circumference 94 (106) 115 (129) 139 (148) 155 (162) 171 cm 37 (41.7) 45.3 (50.8) 54.7 (58.3) 61 (63.8) 67.3 in Length 52 (52) 54 (54) 56 (56) 56 (56) 56 cm 20.5 (20.5) 21.3 (21.3) 22 (22) 22 (22) 22 in Fit An oversize top with a recommended ease of approximately 20 cm / 8 inches.

Suggested needles 4 and 6 mm / US 6 and 10 circulars, minimum 60 cm long. Use Magic Loop for neckline and sleeves, or use DPNs or small circulars.

Please note that needle size is only a suggestion. The pattern refers to the smaller and the larger needle – always choose the needle size needed to get gauge! Pay extra attention to your gauge when working the sleeves. Many knitters will tend to have a tighter gauge when working in a smaller circumference. If this is true for you, please adjust your needle size accordingly, by going up one or two sizes!
