Notes

My 6th CustomFit Tee. The measurements were taken by Fiona, apart from the Upper Torso which I kept the same as my previous Tee.

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: Scoop neck
  • Neck depth: 7½“/19 cm below shoulders
  • Finishing:
  • Hem edging and height: Seed Stitch, 1½“/4 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 all of the decreases of the front armhole as double decreases, and worked the dart 1 in (8 sts) in from the armhole, decreasing every 4th row starting on the same row as the 1st armhole decreases.

Conclusion

I think I got a bit carried away with shortening this one, and it has come out about an inch too short. It is fine when I am standing still, but rides up a little when I move around. A little extra length would make it more comfortable and me less self-conscious.

I really like the neckline with this one.
