Friday Tee by Petite Knit - Printed Pattern

This listing is for the printed pattern only. 

Pattern Details:

he Friday Tee is worked from the top down in a broken rib stitch pattern with raglan increases on the yoke. The neck edge is worked in rib and then knitted together to form a double-knit neckband. Short rows are worked on the yoke to shape the neckline. Sleeves and body are finished with a simple rib edge.

Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Remember to wash your swatch before measuring the gauge – broken rib relaxes and grows when washed.

Size guide

The Friday Tee is designed to have approx. 6-9 cm [2¼-3½ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 6-9 cm [2¼-3½ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches].

The measurements for the finished garment can be found on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size to knit. 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 sweater has a bust circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches], which in the given example would give you 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease.

The model in the photos is wearing a size XS and has a bust circumference of 82 cm [32¼ inches] and is 164 cm [approx. 5 feet 4 inches] tall.
