ABOUT THE PROJECT
Perfect Tee – as I modestly named it, has a boxy fit with wide sleeves. It is designed to be simple to knit, worked from the bottom up using stockinette stitch (st st).
The body is worked using 6 mm | US 10 needles, in rounds and divided at the armholes, followed by finishing the front and back piece separately. The sleeves sts are picked up along the armhole.
Ribbing on the body and sleeves are worked using 6 mm needles while the ribbing on the neck is worked using 5 mm | US 8 needles.
Positive ease and fit
The measurements on the front page are the finished measurements. The t-shirt should have a small positive ease of 7-10 cm | 3-4 inches.
TIP measure the circumference of a t-shirt you like the fit of and match it to the measurements of the according size.
