Marie Tee Junior is knitted top down. First the back is worked, then the shoulders are knitted separately and joined to form the front. When back and front are finished, they are joined and the body is worked in the round on a circular needle. Stitches are picked up along the armholes for the sleeves. The top is finished with an i-cord edge along the sleeves, neck, and body.

Size guide:
Marie Tee Junior is designed with a movement allowance (positive ease) of approx. 10 cm. This means that the top has a looser cut and sits lightly and relaxed on the body. If you are knitting for a chest measurement of, for example, 56 cm, you should therefore choose size 3. The chest measurements are indicative – choose the size that gives you the look you want.
