About the Pattern
Rift cracks open all your assumptions about what a “basic tee” pattern should be. This lightweight, bottom-up knit includes instructions for two necklines, optional bust darts, short or long sleeves, and a custom fit bicep. The design features a slightly cropped body and a split high-low hem in twisted rib, giving it enough detailing to be interesting while maintaining a timeless simplicity.
YARN
------
This sweater is designed for a sport/dk weight cotton/wool or linen blend.
GAUGE, NEEDLES, NOTIONS
------
Gauge: 16 sts and 20 rows over 4” in blocked stockinette stitch
Recommended needles: one US 8 (5 mm) 32” (sizes 34-46) or 40” (sizes 50-66) circular; DPNs for sleeves if not using magic loop
Notions: stitch markers, darning needle, extra needle in similar size or smaller than project needle for 3-needle bind-off
SIZING
------
All of my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive up to at least at 60” full bust circumference.
Sizes by finished bust circumference
In inches: (40, 44, 48) [52, 56, 60] {64, 68, 72} inches
In cm: (102, 112, 122) [132, 142, 152] {163, 173, 183} cm
To choose your size, measure the circumference around the fullest part of your bust, then add 6-12” (depending on how much ease you want) and choose the closest size.
A note about ease: This tee is designed to be worn with 6-12” of ease; however, to get the fit represented in the pattern sizes, folks at the smaller end of the size range may prefer less ease (6-9”) and folks at the higher end may prefer more ease (9-12”).
