Palermo Shirt

**SIZES** S (M) L (XL) XXL The Palermo Shirt is designed with approximately 10–15 cm of positive ease. This means the measurements of the finished shirt should be 10–15 cm larger than your actual chest circumference. The sizes S (M) L (XL) XXL correspond to chest circumferences of: 89-94 (95-103) 104-110 (111-116) 116-120 cm. Before you begin, measure your chest circumference. At this stage, you can decide for yourself whether you prefer a looser or more fitted look. The Palermo Shirt is designed so that the circumference, total length, and sleeve length can be easily modified to your liking. Remember to measure your chest circumference at the widest point (at nipple level). **Finished Measurements** A (Shirt Circumference): 105 (110) 116 (123) 129 cm B (Total Length – measured at the center back): 64 (65) 66 (67) 68 cm C (Sleeve Circumference): 43.5 (46) 48 (50) 53 cm D (Sleeve Length – from the cast-on edge): 15 (15) 15 (15) 15 cm **Suggested Yarn** 1/ Line by Sandnes Garn (50 g = approx. 110 m): Single strand — 8 (9) 9 (10) 10 skeins. 2/ Tynn Line by Sandnes Garn (50 g = approx. 220 m): Held double — 8 (9) 9 (10) 10 skeins. 3/ Belle by Drops (50 g = approx. 120 m): Single strand — 8 (8) 9 (9) 10 skeins. **Important Notes:** Two-Color Version: If you choose to make the shirt using two different colors, you must purchase an even number of skeins.
