The Seedling Tee, easy to wear, and pair, that fits you just right. A project to be proud of, that makes you feel GOOD in it. A nice everyday V-neck set-in sleeve tee, the seed stitch trim giving it just a little bit of something extra. Pairs well with shorts, jeans, skirts, and as a layering piece under a cardigan.

Construction:
Knit in DK weight from the top down, with a contiguous neckline and a short row sleeve cap for minimal finishing. Pattern features 4 body shaping options, and optional horizontal bust dart shaping so you get the fit that you want.

Sizing:
The tee is meant to be worn with 0” / 0 cm of positive ease at the bust, so choose the size that has a finished bust measurement closest to your actual bust measurement.

See schematics and size chart in photos for detailed measurements.

To combat the additional costs fat knitters face, I’ve added a coupon code for knitters who are often excluded from pattern sizing. For knitters who typically knit size 6-9, all my garment patterns are 20% off with the coupon code ANTIFATTAX.
