Notes

Just like the tee I knitted for her sister, Ryla, but in different colors and a little smaller.

Needles used:

Size 4 US - Body

Size 2 US - All ribbing, including JSSBO
(I meant to use size 3 US for the lower ribbing, but forgot to change needles.)

Finished Measurements:
(after shrinking in a warm dryer)

Chest circumference - 31” (shrank 1”)

Length at center front, including ribbing - 14.5” (shrank 1.5”)

Length at center back, including ribbing - 16.5” (shrank 1.5”)

Neck opening, not including ribbing - 6.5”

Sleeve circumference - 8.5” (shrank 1/4”)

Side length - 11” (shrank 1.25”)
(straight part, including ribbing)

Lower ribbing - 1.75” (shrank 1/4”)

Horizontal distance between sleeve edges - 21”
(not including ribbing)

The Neatest Jogless Join for Wide Stripes Knit in the Round
I used this method before starting the lower, contrasting color ribbing. I knit one round of stockinette stitch in the solid, contrast color before starting 2 x 2 bottom ribbing.
