Ida Tee

Ida Tee is knitted from the top down with a pattern of textured stitches and stripes. First, it is knitted back and forth on the needles to shape the neckline, and then the work is joined together, so that the rest of the yoke is knitted in the round on circular needles with raglan increases. Then, stitches are picked up along the neckline to knit a ribbed neckband.

Size guide

Ida Tee should have a positive ease of approx. 6 cm compared 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, measured around the body. The measurements of the finished blouse 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 blouse in size S has a width of 96 cm and will give the mentioned positive ease of 6 cm.
