This stylish fitted tee shirt pattern features long sleeves that extend 2.5 cm (1 in) below the wrist, making it a perfect choice for layering or wearing on its own. The design includes flattering bust darts and waist shaping, along with rolled hems for the lower edge, neckline, and sleeves, giving it a refined finish. You have the flexibility to customize the fit: make it neat and tailored, or opt for a more relaxed silhouette by omitting the waist shaping at the sides for the back and the darts in the front. Use the finished measurements as your guide to find your ideal fit.

This pattern is primarily worked in stocking stitch, which makes it approachable for intermediate knitters. However, it does require some familiarity with short row shaping techniques for the bust darts, adding a touch of complexity. The rolled hems are achieved through a temporary cast on method—after which the hem is folded over twice to create a polished look. Additionally, for the lower edge and cuffs, three sets of stitches are knitted together to form a well-defined roll. The neckline roll is carefully folded and stitched on the inside to ensure a clean finish. Comprehensive instructions for creating these rolled edges are provided within the pattern, making it easy to follow along.
