Amélie Tee

The Amélie Tee is knitted from the top down in stockinette stitch and with stripes. First, it is knitted back and forth on the needles to shape the neckline, and then the work is joined so that the rest of the yoke is knitted in the round on circular needles with raglan increases. Stitches have been picked up along the neckline and a stockinette edge is knitted. 

Size guide 

The Amélie Tee should have a positive ease of approx. 7 cm relative to your bust measurement. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished top are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If you, for example, measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A top in size S has a width of 97 cm and will give a positive ease of 7 cm in the above example.
