FREESTYLE Shirt

The FREESTYLE shirt is a simple raglan shirt with short sleeves. Whether plain or striped, it is an all-rounder that can be easily combined and is perfect for spring and summer. The shirt is knit seamlessly from the top down. First, the neckline is formed using short rows (back and forth rows). Then work is continued in the round with increases for body and sleeves. After the raglan increases are completed, the work is divided and the body and sleeves are finished separately. As the shirt is knit top down, it is possible (and advisable) to try it on as you knit it, so the length of the body as well as the sleeves can be adjusted individually. Techniques used: German Short Rows, left and right leaning increases. All techniques used are explained in the instructions **Sizes** XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) To fit bust circumference: 74-81 (82-89) 90-97 (98-107) 108-117 (118-127) cm/30-32 (33- 35) 36-38 (38-42) 43-46 (47-50)” Chest circumference: 88 (96) 103 (113) 123 (133) cm/34.7 (38) 40.5 (44.5) 48.4 (52.4)” Total length: 49 (51) 53 (55) 58 (60) cm / 19.3 (20) 20.9 (21.7) 22.8 (23.6)” The shirt must have a 'positive ease' of approx. 5- 7 cm / 2 – 2.8” in relation to the body.
