Grace Tee V Neck

The Grace Tee is a simple, classic raglan tee in stockinette stitch with a subtle V-neck. The tee is knitted seamlessly, from top to bottom. The V-neck, sleeves and body are finished with a folded hem. The pattern contains a ‘modification option’ for the body: you can choose to work the body straight or with some decreases to get a more tapered shape. It also contains 2 options to finish the folded hem detail of body and sleeves (with or without an accentuated cast off edge) and 2 options to finish the hem of the body (a hem in 1x1 rib OR a folded hem). The idea behind this design is to have a ‘basic’ tee for which you can use many different types of yarn, always with the same gauge of course. You can add stripes to create a different style. The Grace Tee V-neck and the ‘original’ Grace Tee (with a crew neck) have the same gauge. The Grace Tee V-neck is an oversized tee with a positive ease of approx. 10 - 12.5 cm [4 - 4.75 inches] compared to the body bust circumference. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust circumference (of the body) of approx. 74 (84) 94 (104) 114 (124) 134 (144) 155 cm [29.25 (33) 37 (41) 45 (48.75) 52.75 (56.76) 61 inches] respectively. Keep in mind that the final measurements of the tee already take these extra 10 - 12.5 cm [4 - 4.75 inches] into account. Ease is a personal preference. Take the necessary measurements to determine the right size for you before you start knitting. **Sizes**: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL **Bust circumference: finished tee**: 84 (96) 105.5 (116) 125.5 (136) 145.5 (156) 167 cm 33 (37.75) 41.5 (45.75) 49.5 (53.5) 57.25 (61.5) 65.75 inches **Length: measured at center back, excl. neck, incl. hem**: 48 (49) 50 (52) 54 (56) 58 (59) 60 cm 19 (19.25) 19.75 (20.5) 21.25 (22) 22.75 (23.25) 23.5 inches **Body circumference: AFTER using the “modification option’ for the body**: 79 (91.5) 101 (111.5) 121 (131.5) 141 (151.5) 162.5 cm 31 (36) 39.75 (44) 47.75 (51.75) 55.5 (59.75) 64 inches **Sleeve length: measured under the armhole opening, incl. cuff**: 13 (13) 13 (13) 14 (14) 14 (14) 14 cm 5 (5) 5 (5) 5.5 (5.5) 5.5 (5.5) 5.55 inches **Sleeve circumference: measured at armhole opening**: 31 (34) 35 (37.5) 39.5 (43.5) 46.5 (49) 51 cm 12.25 (13.5) 13.75 (14.75) 15.5 (17.25) 18.25 (19.25) 20 inches **Yoke depth: measured from center back to underarm cast-on edge, excl. neck**: 19 (20.5) 22 (23.5) 25 (27) 28 (30) 31.5 cm 7.5 (8) 8.75 (9.25) 9.75 (10.75) 11 (11.75) 12.5 inches **Depth V-neck: finished**: 16 (16) 16 (17) 17 (17) 18 (18) 19 cm 6.25 (6.25) 6.25 (6.75) 6.75 (6.75) 7 (7) 7.5 inches **Gauge**: 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches]: 26 sts x 36 rounds (after blocking) with needles 3 mm [US 2.5] in stockinette stitch in the round. **Needles**: Circular needles 3, 2.25 & 2 mm / cable lengths 40, 60 and/or 80, 100 cm [US 2.5, 1 & 0 / cable lengths 16, 24, and/or 32, 40 inches].
