Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Louet Euroflax Sport, a premium 100% linen yarn that provides a luxurious feel and drape. Each skein contains 270 yards and weighs 100 grams. This lovely tee is demonstrated in color #21 Cloud Grey, requiring 3 (4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6) skeins depending on your size selection.
Needles: To craft this beautiful tee, you will need a US 3 [3.25 mm] circular needle that is 32” long, perfect for achieving the ideal fit and smooth construction.
Notions: Gather your essential knitting supplies, including stitch markers, smooth waste yarn for a provisional cast-on, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches. These tools will help ensure that your knitting experience is enjoyable and successful.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with our gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows, which equals 4” in stockinette stitch (St st). Measuring your gauge is crucial to ensure your finished tee fits beautifully.
The sample shown is designed for a 40” bust measurement with an additional 6” of positive ease, creating a relaxed yet flattering silhouette.
