Poppy Tee

Poppy Tee is a nice summer blouse which has a lot of fine knitting details, it is knitted from top to bottom. The body is knitted in the round on circular needle, and the sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. Finally, knit a bent rib edge with a built-in double stitch in the neck opening.

Knit a knitting test to find the needle size that gives you the right knitting strength. Wash the knitting sample before measuring the knitting strength. If you are knitting with the recommended yarn, you should be aware that this can grow in the wash - therefore it is important that you wash the knitting sample before the knitting strength is measured.

Size guide

Poppy Tee should have room to move ( positive ease) of approximately 5 cm. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a chest measurement measured on your own body of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) ) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished blouse are indicated on the front of the pattern. Note: These measurements only apply if the knitting tension is observed. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If, for example, you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A blouse in size S has an excess width of 96 cm and, in the example mentioned, will provide a room for movement ( positive ease ) of 6 cm.
