PetiteKnit Poppy Tee (FI) - knitting pattern in Finnish

This knitting pattern is a high-quality A5-sized printed magazine. The instructions are in Finnish.

The PetiteKnit Poppy Tee is knitted top-down. First, the upper part of the back yoke is knitted with increases. Then, stitches are picked up from the top edge of the back yoke for the shoulders. For the rest of the yoke, stitches are picked up from the shoulders, and it is knitted in the round, first flat and then in the round. The body is knitted in the round. The sleeves are knitted in the round using double-pointed needles or circular needles with the magic loop method. Finally, a folded neckband is knitted.

First, knit a swatch to determine the correct needle size for your gauge. Wash and block the swatch before measuring, as fabric knitted with the recommended yarns may stretch when washed.

Size guide

The PetiteKnit Poppy Tee has approximately 5 cm of positive ease, meaning its circumference should be about 5 cm larger than your bust circumference. 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. The finished garment measurements are listed on the front page of the pattern. Please note that the measurements are accurate only if the given gauge is followed. Measure yourself before starting the project to choose the correct size. For example: if your bust circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) is 90 cm, choose size S. The bust circumference of a size S garment is 96 cm, meaning in this case, there would be 6 cm of positive ease.
