Lett Tee

Airy T-shirt with a long raglan section. **Construction** Worked from the top down. Increases are made using a centered increase technique every fourth round. Short rows are worked at the beginning to shape the neckline. After the increases, the work is divided into body and sleeves, and each part is worked separately. For beginners or for a simpler top, you can cast on in the usual way and skip the short rows. You may also choose a shorter yoke. **Techniques** Italian cast on (optional) Centered increase Short rows (optional) Italian bind-off (optional) **Size guide** The top has an oversized fit with a positive ease of approximately 20–25 cm | 8–10 inches. Note that the yoke is so long that the top will lift slightly when you raise your arms. The pattern includes tips on how to knit a more standard T-shirt shape if you prefer. **Sizes** XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) XXXL **Measurements, lying flat** Width: 51 (54) 58 (61) 65 (68) 72 cm | 20.1 (21.3) 22.8 (24.0) 25.6 (26.8) 28.3” Length: 44 (46) 48 (50) 52 (54) 56 cm | 17.3 (18.1) 18.9 (19.7) 20.5 (21.3) 22.0” **Recommended needle size** US 8 and 11 circular needles, 16 and 32 inches | 5 and 8 mm circular needles, 40 and 80 cm US 6 circular needle for cast-on | 4 mm circular needle for cast-on **Gauge per 10 cm | 4 inches (after rinsing)** Stockinette stitch, 8 mm: 12 sts / 18 rows Rib stitch, 5 mm: 14 sts / 24 rows **Yarn** Rauma Finull 150 (150) 150 (200) 200 (200) 250g Color: Kremgul - 4095 Rauma Alpaca Silk 75 (75) 75 (100) 100 (100) 125g Color: Lys strågul - 6409 **Yarn alternatives** Yarns that may be suitable.
