Notes

My 4th CustomFit Tee. For this one I reduced the waist and upper torso circumferences.

Design Choices: This pattern was generated with the following design choices:

  • Close fit
  • Style: pullover
  • Length: High-hip length
  • Sleeves: Elbow-length sleeve
  • Neck style: Crew neck
  • Neck depth: 5”/12.5 cm below shoulders
  • Finishing:
  • Hem edging and height: Seed Stitch, ¾“/2 cm
  • Sleeve edging and height: Seed Stitch, ¾“/2 cm
  • Neck edging and height: Seed Stitch, ¾“/2 cm

I worked above-the-bust darts rather than removing the extra bust fabric in the neckline (and recalculated the neckline to reflect that).

I worked the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th decreases of the front armhole as double decreases, and worked the dart 1.5 in (14 sts) in from the armhole, decreasing every 4th row starting on the same row as the 2nd armhole decreases.

I think the back waist is definitely better. The shoulders are better but could possibly be improved. There is still a funny fold of fabric on the side of the bust and the side of the sleeve. The sleeve fold may be caused by an incorrect bicep measurement.
