Anker Tee

Anker Tee is worked from the top down. The yoke is worked in sections of rib with increases in the round, followed by classic raglan increases when the stockinette stitch section begins. The sleeves are worked at the end, either on double-pointed needles or on circular needles using the Magic Loop technique. Anker Tee has no finishing other than weaving in ends.

Size guide

Note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is kept.

Anker Tee is designed to have approx. 0 cm [0 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 0 cm [0 inches] larger in circumference than your widest upper body measurement.

The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39¼) 39¼-43¼ (43¼-46½) 46½-51 (51-55) 55-59 inches]. Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or your widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] you should knit a size S. A size S shirt has a finished circumference of 90 cm [35½ inches], which in the given example would mean 0 cm [0 inches] of positive ease.
