General information
First things first: I am not a professional pattern designer. I just wanted to make a colorful summer shirt using a linen yarn and so I tried to figure it all out. When other knitters said to me that my Ravelry notes are almost a pattern I thought ok, let’s put this in a proper form at least. :)

About the tee
The Color Splash Tee has a boat neck, drop sleeves, and a loose fit. Hem, neckline and armholes are finished with an i-cord.

A: Neckline – 28 cm
B: Bust width incl. sleeve – 52 cm
C: Sleeve – 20cm
D: Length – 60cm (front)
– 63cm (back)
E: Circumference – 100cm

I wear a size M and my shirt has a loose fit with about 10cm positive ease.

I really wish I could offer the whole size range but unfortunately I have no experience with that topic yet. I would love if anyone has any tips or would like to share their experience with the adjustments.

About the yarn
Many thanks to sueg, she made me aware that the original yarn Lino Mūka might be not so easy to get abroad. I have researched a few alternatives that are well suited for a summer shirt and have a similar color palette. Please note that some of the substitution yarns are not suppost to held double as long as the weight is different.

I used these colors of WOLLEN berlin Lino Mūka:
MC „Snow White“ – 205 grams / 5 skeins
CC1 „Light Rose“ – 35 grams / 1 skein
CC2 „Honey“ – 35 grams / 1 skein
CC3 „Emerald“ – 35 grams / 1 skein
CC4 „Petrol“ – 35 grams / 1 skein
CC5 „Water Teal“ – 35 grams / 1 skein
