Wave Tee Knitting Kit - CottonWaves Yarn & Pattern

Wave Tee Knitting Kit

Knitting Pattern & Yarn  | PetiteKnit | Experienced Beginner

The Wave Tee is worked seamlessly from the top down with a boat neck. Short rows are worked at the neck to raise the back. The yoke is shaped first with increases for the sleeves and then with raglan increases. The body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch. Sleeves are worked at the end, and instructions for either a short sleeve or a long sleeve are provided.

You are purchasing a knitting pattern and the yarn to knit the Wave Tee, not the item itself.

Note that the recommended yarn stretches when washed and with wear. The gauge you can expect to have before wash/wear is approx. 13 sts in 10 cm [4 inches], which after wash/wear will grow to the correct gauge of 12 sts in 10 cm [4 inches].

Size guide

The Wave Tee is designed to have approx. 5-7 cm [2-2¾ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 5-7 cm [2-2¾ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished tee can be found on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S tee has a bust circumference of 95 cm [37½ inches] which in the given example would give you 5 cm [2 inches] of positive ease. Schematics can be found here.
