Sage tee

The Sage Tee is a refined and timeless design with a soft, modern look. Worked top-down, it begins with an elegant yoke that creates a beautiful fit across the shoulders. The balance of texture and simplicity makes this project both relaxing to knit and versatile to wear. It’s simple, rhythmic, and ideal for knitters who love a seamless garment with thoughtful shaping built in. Incredibly lightweight — only 200 grams were used for size M in yarn option 1. After completing the yoke, instead of immediately dividing for sleeves and body, you will first work a few rows back and forth over the back stitches only (Asian yoke/back). These rows are worked flat in simple stockinette stitch—no short rows or special techniques, just knit on the right side and purl on the wrong side. SIZES: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL). Fits chest sizes: 71-76 (81-86) 91.5-96.5 (101.5-106.5) 111.5-117 (122-127) 132-137 (142-147) cm / 28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50) 52-54 (56-58) inches. Finished measurements: Chest circumference: 96.5 (106.5) 116 (126.5) 136 (145) 153.5 (168) cm / 38 (42) 45.5 (49.75) 53.5 (57) 60.5 (66.25) inches. This means the Sage tee is designed to have a positive ease approximately of 20 cm / 8 inches.
