Pippa Tee + Pippa Sweater

Pippa Tee - digital knitting pattern (PDF) This pattern includes instructions for the Pippa Tee, as well as the Pippa Sweater! The pippa tee is a fitted baby tee that is worked top-down. The front and back are first worked separately and then connected to be worked in the round. Then, the piece is worked flat again to make a slit on one side. The shoulders are then seamed together and stitches are picked up to make a collar and a buttonband for the slit on the side in 2x2 ribbing. Cap sleeves are then added by picking up stitches around the armhole and are shaped using short rows. **Gauge** (after blocking): 10 x 10cm/4” x 4” = 20 sts x 30 rows in stockinette and 24 sts x 36 rows in 2x2 ribbing. Do not forget making a gauge swatch and blocking it before knitting this top - otherwise you risk making the wrong size for you. **Sizing**: 8 sizes are included in the pattern for now. The sizes 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7 (8) fit measurements 79-83 (84-89) 90-94 (95-99) 100-104 (105-109) 110-115 (116-120) cm/31”-32,5” (33”-35”) 35,5”-37” (37,5”-39”) 39”-41” (41”-43”) 43,5”-45” (46"-47").

The Top is meant to be fitted with a negative ease of 5 - 10 cm / 2” - 4”. **Circumference of the finished top**: 74 (78) 84 (88) 94 (98) 104 (108) cm / 29” (31”) 33” (35”) 37” (39”) 41” (43") **Length of the finished top**: 48 (49) 49 (51) 51 (52) 52 (53) cm / 18.5” (19”) 19” (20”) 20” (20.5") 21" (21") **Materials**: **Needles**: 4mm (US 6) circular knitting needles, 80cm length; 3mm (US 2.5) circular knitting needles, 80cm length (and 40cm length - optional) 4 buttons with 2.2cm diameter Blunt tapestry needle Scissors **Yarn**: Tee version: 300g (350g) 350g (400g) 400g (450g) 500g (550g) of Drops Bomull-Lin - 53% Cotton, 47% Linen (85m/93yds per 50g skein).

Alternatively, you can use a different aran weight / 10 ply yarn, either in a similar mix of cotton and linen as the suggested yarn or in wool for a warmer version. If you want to make a version with a flowier, thinner fabric, you can use a DK weight / 8 ply yarn. If you choose to use wool, you will need a smaller amount of yarn than suggested above. The pattern includes 8 sizes for now as I was not able to find testers for sizes upwards of 120cm/47”. If you would like to knit this top and are not included in the size range, message me on instagram @marielenatricot or through e-mail: marielenatricot@gmail.com and I will send you the pattern in your size for free. I would love to be able to update the pattern to be more size inclusive!
