ABOUT THE WORK
The Cotton Candy Tee has small, fine sleeves, and the neck is finished with a rolled hem. The tee is knitted with a single structure consisting of knit and purl stitches, which gives it a fresh and playful look.
It is knitted from top to bottom on needle 4 - or the needle you need to hit the knitting tension! The small sleeves are shaped with turning pins. The collar is made by finally picking up stitches along the neckline.
The top is meant to sit on. The stated goals are the finished goals of the work.
You can choose a size approx. 10 cm below your own chest measurement and get a completely tight-fitting version, or you can choose to take the size closest to your own chest measurement/size larger and get a more loose-fitting tee. I made mine in size 3 for a fitted version (my chest measurement is 96 cm)
YARN SUGGESTIONS
I have knitted my Cotton Candy Tee in two strands of 8/4 cotton. I have used different light pink/pink/pink shades as the base color. For the stripes, I have chosen 2 threads of yarn with great contrast. For example dark blue and delicate pink, light yellow and dark green or boadoux and turquoise.
