You make this shirt from the neck down, so starting with a neck size that is comfortable. You can make any chest size and length that you want. I use the popular Raglan style as a basis for forming sleeves, with the distinctive diagonal lines from armpit to neck. The body is made in one piece so there are no seams.
The instructions include lots of detail to ensure shaping is made easy. The instructions use photographs and diagrams to help you can place stitches correctly
The design is made from double knit 100% cotton (category 3, Light Worsted) and you will need approximately 450g-500g, 1250m/1370yds. There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate. I have listed this pattern as “intermediate” because of shaping and pattern techniques.

Gauge is (dc 1, ch 1)x12 X 10 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm
