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.
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.

Is your yarn stock low - or does it just need a breath of fresh air? Then buy a Stopgarnspil package from Garnspecialisten, which sells deadstock and surplus yarn that would have been burned if they hadn't saved it.
Nem opskrift at følge og perfekt resultat.
Jeg har så mange rester uldgarn i forskellig tykkelse. Valgte blå og grønne nuancer, lavede en strikkeprøve og før jeg fik set mig om, var den lækreste uldtrøje med korte ærmer af pinden. Opskriften var supernemt og lige til, og trøjen er perfekt til de kølige sommeraftener.
Dejlig opskrift elsker farver og design, og det budgner denne opskrift af! 💗 Dog kunne den måske forbedres en smule med lidt ekstra information og uddybende beskrivelser af teknik (til os der ikke er for erfarne med strik). Eller super godt!

En dejlig nem og overskuelig opskrift med gode forklaringer 👏👏
