This wide-neck raglan tee is practically perfect.

Struggling to find a basic tee that fits your body on a gauge you can achieve? Ready to find a blank canvas for a lace panel or stitch pattern? Want something custom that doesn’t require you to do all the math? This is the one for you.

Start with your favorite fingering weight or sport weight yarn (mine is Barker Wool BFL!) and knitting a gauge swatch. Then take 8 measurements, and the pattern for a tee that fits you to a T will be generated.

As a person who’s shaped like the letter P, I’ve struggled to find patterns that work for my body in the full bust without being super oversized in the rest of my body.

This pattern also comes with a stand-alone copy of my custom bust darts generator, so you can insert it into any stockinette pattern.

The neckline on this top starts at 24.5” and can go to any size from there. The sleeves can be lengthened to any length.

The sample is knit for a 37” upper bust and 42” full bust with zero ease. You can adjust your ease by adding to measurement 6.
