ABOUT THE PROJECT
My Demure Tee is inspired by the elegant rococo princesses with wide puff sleeves and ruffles that go all the way up under the chin. I have toned down the exaggerated expression a bit, but I still think the tee has that extra touch. It can be knitted in any yarn scraps you like, I have chosen colors inspired by autumn.

The tee is knitted top down in stocking stitch.

The sleeves are shaped with circular needles.

Positive ease and fit
The measurements given are the finished measurements of the t-shirt, and the model is designed with a positive ease of movement of 7-10 cm | 3-8 inches, which gives it a loose and relaxed look.

TIP Measure a shirt that you think fits well and choose the size that best matches its measurements.
