PROJECT IDEA Wave Tee in Estelle Breeze

Leave a reply

Yay for textured yarns! The Wave Tee is designed with a nubbly, bulky weight textured yarn similar to Estelle Breeze, so it’s sure to work up fast.

Construction

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.

Note on Tension

Cotton yarn stretches when washed and with wear. Make a 5″ x 5″ swatch and wash and dry it before measuring your tension. If your tension is coming out tighter than the pattern’s gaugue (for exaple you are getting 13 or 14 sts = 4″) then go up a size in the pattern.

Size

  • XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL)
  • Finished Bust circumference: 87 (90) 95 (100) 107 (117) 125 (135) 142 (152) cm OR [34¼ (35½) 37½ (39½) 42¼ (46) 49¼ (53¼) 56 (59¾) inches]

For a SMOOTHER texture try holding 2 strands of Sandnes Garn Line together: 6(7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11) balls (plus an extra 2+ balls if you want to add long sleeves).

To make a long-sleeved version purchase at least an extra 100g of yarn.
