INTRODUCTION
Mimi is a fitted, contiguous set-in sleeve tee that is knit top-down. Stitches were increased at the shoulders & at about mid-point of the sleeve length to create puffy shoulders & bell-shaped sleeves. The body is waist-shaped, embellished with duplicate stitching, & finished with picot hems. It is worn with no ease for all sizes.
Mimi is named after a character in the show Project Blue Book available on the Roku Channel.
Project Level: Intermediate (the duplicate stitching may require some time & patience).
Sample garment shown is in size 32”/81 cm bust.

The estimated skeins of yarn for the whole project are 6 (6, 7, 7, 8) of MC & 1 (1, 1, 1, 1) of the CC yarn listed below. When in doubt, always get an extra skein.

This area is reserved for errata updates:
5/3/24 - I will be adjusting the fit around the shoulders for the larger sizes 36”-40” busts and the new version will be sent out to everyone that has downloaded the pattern.
Sorry about that! I sized up according to my shoulder width & bust circumference ratio & a tester pointed out that for the larger sizes, there is a greater difference between the shoulder width & bust circumference, so I will be adjusting the pattern.
For the smaller sizes, the fit around the shoulders should be as pictured in sample.
5/10/24: The new version is now available for download! You should be getting a link in your messages & PayPal emails if you have purchased this pattern.
Those who have downloaded during the free pattern promotion can also do so until Sunday 5/12/24.
The new version adjusted the fit for sizes 34-40” busts for the neck circumferences & shoulder to shoulder lengths for a tighter fit (please see Schematic for approximate measurements).
