It features fitted shoulders and an open rounded neckline. Edge details bring some unique charm to a classic design. The Coastal Tee is worked in narrow stripes, using as many colors as you like. The Coastal Tee is worked top-down with a contiguous shoulder construction. The shoulders are shaped with increases worked on every row. The neckline is shaped, and the project is then joined in the round. The yoke and sleeves are worked using the contiguous method for a seamless finish. The pattern includes instructions for both the short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions.* **Gauge:** 21 sts x 28 rows = 10 cm / 4″ in stockinette stitch, worked flat and in the round, after blocking. **Needles:** 3.5 mm / US 4 circular needles (80 cm / 32″) for the main body and (40 cm / 16″) for the sleeves. 3 mm / US 2.5 circular needles (80 cm / 32″) for the body hem and (40 cm / 16″) for the neckline and sleeves finishing. If you are making the long-sleeve version, you might also need double-pointed needles or circular needles with a longer cable for the magic loop technique. *Make sure to adjust your needle size if necessary to reach gauge.* **Recommended ease:** 2 - 5 cm / 0.75 - 2″ of positive ease. **Sizes:** 1, 2, 3, **(4, 5, 6)**, 7, 8, 9 **Actual bust circumference:** 70, 80, 90, (100, 110, 120), 130, 140, 150 cm / 28, 32, 36, (40, 44, 48), 53, 56, 60 in. **Garment bust circumference:** 74.5, 84, 93.5, (105, 114.5, 124), 133.5, 143, 152.5 / 30, 33.5, 37.5, (42.5, 46, 50), 53.5, 57.5, 61.5 in. **Yarn:** Drops Belle (53% cotton, 33% viscose, 14% linen, 120 m / 131 yd per 50 g) or any other DK weight yarn. **Short-sleeve version:** Main color: 420, 480, 530, **(600, 650, 700)**, 750, 800, 850 m / 460, 525, 580, **(655, 710, 765)**, 820, 875, 930 yd. 1 CC: 100, 110, 120, **(135, 175, 190)**, 205, 250, 265 m / 110, 120, 130, **(150, 190, 210)**, 225, 270, 290 yd. 2 CC (each CC): 50, 55, 60, **(70, 90, 95)**, 100, 125, 135 m / 55, 60, 65, **(75, 100, 105)**, 110, 135, 150 yd. 3 CC (each CC): 35, 35, 40, **(45, 60, 65)**, 65, 70, 85, 90 m / 40, 40, 45, **(50, 65, 70)**, 75, 95, 100 yd. **Long-sleeve version:** Main color: 545, 620, 680, **(770, 835, 895)**, 970, 1035, 1105 m / 595, 680, 745, **(840, 915, 980)**, 1060, 1130, 1210 yd. 1 CC: 130, 145, 160, **(180, 220, 240)**, 260, 310, 325 m / 140, 160, 175, **(195, 240, 260)**, 285, 340, 355 yd. 2 CC (each CC): 65, 70, 80, **(90, 115, 120)**, 125, 155, 165 m / 70, 75, 85, (**100, 125, 130)**, 135, 170, 180 yd. 3 CC (each CC): 45, 50, 55, **(60, 75, 80)**, 85, 105, 110 m / 50, 55, 60, **(65, 80, 85)**, 95, 115, 120 yd. **Yarn alternatives:** - Sandnes Garn Line (53% cotton, 33% viscose, 14% linen, 110 m / 120 yd per 50 g) - Sandnes Garn Tynn Line held double (53% cotton, 33% viscose, 14% linen, 220 m / 241 yd per 50 g) - Knitting for Olive Pure Silk held double (100% silk, 250 m / 273 yd per 50 g) - Holst Garn Coast held double (55% wool, 45% cotton, 350 m / 383 yd per 50 g) **Samples:** *The light grey short-sleeve version with pink and blue stripes is made in Drops Belle in colors: MC - 23 ; CC1 - 15 and CC2 - Sandnes Garn Tynn Line held double in color 4335.
