The Breezy Longsleeve (Version A) is a fitted top with a wide boat-neck style neckline and extra long and narrow set-in sleeves. The sleeve caps are shaped using short-rows. You will need to be able to work German short rows to knit this. It is suitable for an intermediate knitter or confident beginning willing to learn new techniques. The longsleeve is finished with 1x1 ribbing but you can, of course, use the instructions from version B for an I-cord edge.

The Breezy Tank (Version B) is worked in the same way as the longsleeve - you just omit the sleeves. This makes the tank super beginner-friendly. It is finished with I-cord edges but you can, of course, use the instructions for the ribbing from version A.

5 to 10 cm positive ease at the bust is recommended. Please note that the sleeves are designed to only have around 2 cm of positive ease such that if you size down the sleeves may be too tight.
