Meet the Barbara Tee, another take on a basic raglan tee. I used Barbara Walker's double increase no 4 from her Knitting from the Top book and it produces the cleanest raglan lines. The tee is worked top down (so you can try as you go) and is finished with a contrasting I-Cord trim for that retro vibe. Choose a high contrast color for the trim or use the main color for a more subdued look! **There is no short rows in this pattern - the neckline is formed with increases.** **YARN CHOICE** DK weight summer yarns, cotton, linen, hemp blends are a great choice! **YARN AMOUNTS** Sandnes Garn Line – 53% Cotton, 33% Rayon, 14% Linen; 120 yards (110 m) per 50 g (1.76 oz) skein Main Color: 400(475, 550, 625), (700, 775, 825), (875, 925, 975) yards Trim Color: 20(20, 30, 30), (40, 40, 40), (50, 50, 55) yards Sample shown in MC (4626) and TC (4108) **MEASUREMENTS** The tee measures: Bust – 32.8” (36”, 39.2”, 42.4”), (44.8”, 47.2”, 50.4”), (54.4”, 57.6”, 60”) or 1 (2, 3, 4), (5, 6, 7), (8, 9, 10) The recommended ease for this pattern is 1" - 2" of positive ease. **NEEDLES** US#6/4.00 mm – 16”/40cm and 24”/60cm circular needles US#4/3.50mm – 24”/60cm circular needles (for neck trim) US#4/3.50mm and US#5/3.75mm DPN (for I-Cord bind off) **TOOLS** Four markers, tapestry needle for weaving in ends **GAUGE** 20 sts/28 rows per 4” square in Stockinette stitch using US#6/4.00mm needles post blocking **SKILLS & TECHNIQUES** knitting & purling in the round increases and decreases I-Cord bind off **For more information, see https://sweaterfreak.com/b/barbara-tee** [1]: https://www.subscribepage.com/sweaterfreak
