The final installment of my Calm Down series! The tee features saddle shoulder details, a relaxed crew neck, and considered short row shaping for a tailored fit. Optional bust darts are included in the pattern.

YARN: DK weight yarn, approx 433 (491; 556; 619; 696) (775; 857; 936; 1021) metres / 473 (537; 608; 677; 761) (848; 937; 1024; 1116) yards.

Sample shown in Rosarios 4 Belmonte (50% wool, 50% cotton, 125m per 50g ball). If using this yarn, you will need 4 (4; 5; 5; 6) (7; 7; 8; 9) balls.

If working bust darts, you will need approx 9 (10; 11; 12; 13) (18; 19; 20; 22) metres / 10 (11; 12; 13; 14) (20; 21; 22; 24) yards extra.

GAUGE: 21 sts and 28 rows to 4 inches / 10 cm in stocking stitch blocked. Suggested size 4 mm.

NEEDLES & NOTIONS:
4mm and 3.5mm circular needles for body (length dependent on size)
4mm and 3.5mm needle(s) of your preferred length for working small circumferences in the round (ie. DPNs, short circulars, magic loop) for sleeves & neckband
Removable stitch markers
Tapestry needle
Scrap yarn

SIZING: 1 (2; 3; 4; 5) (6; 7; 8; 9) detailed below, designed to be worn with between 1.5-3.5 inches / 3-7 cm positive ease. Sample shown is a size 2 worn on a 34” bust with approx 1.5” positive ease.

If you are on the petite side or have a small frame (ie. narrow shoulders, even if you have a large chest) I would recommend sizing down, as the fit around the shoulders is crucial. If the shoulders are too big, the whole item will look sloppy and ill-fitting.

This tee was graded based on an average cross back width of 14 (14.25; 15; 15.25; 16) (16.25; 17; 17.25; 18) ” / 36 (36; 38; 39; 41) (41; 43; 44; 46) cm. You may wish to factor this into your size choice.

To fit bust: 28-30 (32-34; 36-38; 40-42; 44-46) (48-50; 52-54; 56-58; 60-62) inches / 71-76 (81-86; 91-97; 102-107; 112-117) (122-127; 132-137; 142-147; 152-157) cm.
