ABOUT THE WORK
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM
My Demure Tee is inspired by the elegant rococo princesses with wide puff sleeves and frills that go all the way up below the chin. However, I have toned down the exaggerated expression a bit, but still think the tee has that extra touch. It can be knitted in leftover yarn of your choice, and I have chosen colors inspired by autumn.
The tee is knitted from top to bottom in stockinette stitch.
The sleeves are shaped with turning pins.
The stated measurements are the finished measurements of the t-shirt, and the model is designed with a room for movement (positive ease) of 7-10 cm, which gives a loose and relaxed look.
TIP: Measure a shirt you think fits well and choose the size that best matches its measurements
