This design delivers both casual elegance and maximum comfort, making it an essential addition to your warm-weather wardrobe. With a simple silhouette paired with garter stitch edges at the neck and armholes, this pattern is crafted to be as enjoyable to create as it is to wear, making it the perfect project for knitters looking for a satisfying experience.

**FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:** Bust size options are 30½ (36, 41½, 47)(52½, 58¼, 63¾)". The tee is designed to be worn with 2-4" of ease, ensuring a relaxed and comfortable fit for your summer outings.

**YARN REQUIREMENTS:** You will need 650 (775, 925, 1075)(1220, 1405, 1575) yards of sport or fingering weight yarn, ideally in a cotton or cotton/linen blend. Choosing the right yarn will enhance the lightweight and breathable qualities of this summer tee.

**CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:** The design involves knitting the back and front pieces separately from the bottom up. The neck and armhole garter edges are worked simultaneously, simplifying the construction process. Shoulder shaping is achieved using German short rows and the pieces are joined with a neat 3-needle bind-off. Finally, the sides are seamed together, creating a polished finish for your tee.
