Construction
Apheleia in the greek mythology is the spirit
and personification of simplicity and ease. As
this shirt is perfect for everyday in its simple
yet elegant form i thought Apheleia would
perfectly represent the shirt.

This T-Shirt is constructed bottom up. You start
by knitting the body with the faux seam at the
sides. Then you cast on more stitches to form
the sleeves and finally you form an angled
shoulder with the use of short rows.
An I-Cord is added to finish the neck. For the
arms you can choose between an I-cord or a
simple two row edging

Skill level: Confident beginner

Sizes
I cunstructed this pattern in five sizes with a few centimeters of neative ease in mind. The person in the photos has a 108 cm/42.5 in bust and is waering the third size.

Size 1: 79 - 87 cm/ 31 - 34 in
Size 2: 90 - 98 cm/ 35,5 - 38,5 in
Size 3: 100 - 109 cm/ 39,5 - 43 in
Size 4: 110 - 119 cm/ 43,5 - 47 in
Size 5: 122 - 132 cm/ 48 - 52 in

However I strongly believe that everybody should choose their preferred amount of negative or positive ease. So choose the size that resonates with you the best.
