Lucas Tee

The Lucas Tee is a lightweight, effortlessly wearable top featuring elegant twisted stitch details that evoke the structured beauty of nature. Designed for warm-weather layering, this circular yoke tee is knit seamlessly from the top down in GOR Woollen Mill Summer Fiesta—a fingering-weight blend of superfine merino and linen that provides both softness and breathability. Named in honor of Eleanor Lucas and the Lucas Girls of Ballarat, this design pays tribute to the women who shaped history through their craftsmanship and dedication. Just as the Lucas Girls left a lasting mark with their work and the planting of the Avenue of Honour, this tee is a celebration of skill, creativity, and heritage. Perfect for transitional seasons, the Lucas Tee combines subtle texture with a timeless fit, making it a versatile addition to any handmade wardrobe. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5,) (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) **Bust circumference:** 86.5 (96.5, 110, 118.5, 130) (141.5, 150, 163.5, 171.5, 181.5) cm / 34 (38, 43.25, 46.75, 51.25) (55.75, 59, 64.25, 67.5, 71.5) inches **Recommended ease** 10 - 15 cm/ 4 - 6 inches of positive ease at the bust. **Yarn** Light Fingering to Fingering weight yarn Sample knitted in GOR Woollen Mill, Summer fiesta fingering weight/ 4ply (100 g/ 3.52 oz, 460m/503 yds, 70% superfine merino/30% linen) in ‘Sage Green’. 650 (720, 790, 870, 960) (1060, 1170, 1280, 1410) m / 710 (785, 865, 960, 1055) (1160, 1275, 1400, 1545) yards of light fingering to fingering weight yarn **Needles** 2.75 / US 2 mm 80 cm circular needles for ribbing 3.25 mm / US 3 80 - 100 cm circular needles for body in twisted stitch pattern 3.5 mm / US 4 80 cm circular needles for body and sleeves in stockinette **Notions** Stitch markers & progress keeper Tapestry needle for weaving in ends **Gauge** 24 sts and 36 rounds over 10cm / 4" using 3.5 mm / US 4 needles in stockinette, after blocking. 28 sts and 48 rounds over 10cm / 4" using 2.75 / US 2 mm needles in ribbing, after blocking.
