Rowdy Tee was born from my desire to have a basic knit tee that I could wear year round. Layer it in cooler weather- think under a blazer or over a dress shirt- or wear it on it’s own in warmer months. This simple knit tee will have you knitting multiple versions to fill the gaps in your wardrobe! I can’t wait to see how you customize yours!

CONSTRUCTION
Tee is worked in the round, from the top down. German Short Rows (GSR) are worked to shape the neck. Raglan increases are used to shape the Yoke. Sleeves are separated from the Yoke and held while underarm stitches are cast on for the Body. Body is worked in the round down. Sleeve stitches are picked up and Sleeves are knit in the round down. NOTE: 1 strand of each yarn is held together throughout to created a marled fabric.

SIZES
1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

FINISHED BUST MEASUREMENTS
33.5 (35.75, 39.25, 43, 46.5, 49.5, 53, 57, 61, 65.5)” / 84 (89.5, 98, 107.5, 116.5, 124, 132.5, 142.5, 152.5, 164)cm

A range of sizes has been included so that you may choose your preferred amount of ease (ease is not built into the sizes). Choose the size that has a finished bust measurement closest to that desired number. Sample modeled with 5” / 12.5cm of positive ease, however the testers who test knit this tee found they preferred an ease range of approximately 1” / 2.5cm - 5” / 12.5cm.
