Vesuvius is the sister pattern to the Etna Tee. A collection inspired by beautiful Italian landscapes and the roughness of terrain around the volcanic majesties that their namesakes are. Vesuvius is made top-down with a drop-shoulder construction and has perfectly fitted shoulders to eliminate excess fabric around the underarms. The Tee features a textured and airy stitch, which is perfect for summer garments, a wide over-sized fit and a split high-low hem; all finished with an elegant edging. Best part? Vesuvius is truly size inclusive with a design that ensures that the shoulder drops roughly in the same spot on all makers, regardless of their size. The details in this Tee will have you reaching for it time and time again!

Gauge
22 sts x 7 pairs of rows worked flat with 3.5 mm hook = 10 cm x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in.
Stitch pattern for gauge, measuring a pair of sc/dc rows and a pair of sc/3-dc cl rows:
Ch odd number of sts.
Row 1: Ch1, sc to end, turn.
Row 2: Ch2, dc to end, turn.
Row 3: Ch1, sc to end, turn.
Row 4: Ch2, dc in first st, ch1, sk1st, 3-dc cl, ch1, sk1st, rep from to last st, dc in last st, turn.
Repeat the 4-row pattern for the desired gauge swatch size.
Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm).
Certain materials might sag, and fabric will extend too much with drape, so adjust hook size appropriately.
