Fragrance of Buds is a tee with classic fit (~5% positive ease at the bust) and decorative print at the yoke. It is knit mainly top-down in the round with minimal seaming and purling.
Start with circular yoke (flat sideways in garter stitch, using short-rows for shaping and creating the print). Then pick up sts from the yoke, raise the back for a better fit and separate for the body & sleeves. Knit the body top-down in the round. Basic instructions assume straight body, but there is additional guidance on A-line shaping/ tailored fit. In addition, adult sizes №3-14 have instructions for horizontal bust darts (optional, but highly recommended for better fit).
Neckline is decorated with an I-cord (applied along the neck) – either in main or contrast color, based on personal preference. Hem and cuffs are decorated with garter ridges

YARN: heavy fingering or sport-weight yarn in 2 contrast colors. The yardage for your size in both color-blocking options is provided in the table below. You can choose for summer/winter yarn content:
• Summer content (cotton/silk/ linen) 280-300m/300-330 yds per 100g/3.5oz. if you choose linen, slightly reduce the number of rows in the body, since it tends to sag more than other yarns.
• Winter content (merino etc.) ~320-350m/350-385yds per 100g/3.5oz.

NEEDLES:
• Main: 3.5mm/US4 (or size to get stockinette gauge) circulars on a 40-100cm/16-40” cable, depending on the size worked + DPNs for the sleeves, if you prefer them to magic loop (for magic loop take 1 size larger needles);
• Smaller: 3mm/US2.5 (or size to get garter gauge) 60 cm/24” circulars (or straights) for the yoke and same cable length as the main ones for the I-cords.
