Cima Tee, English

This airy summer tee has a beautiful lace pattern, which looks nice on both the inside and the outside. The lace looks complicated but is in reality very easy to work!

The tee is part of a series of models I have named after my favorite small towns in Italy. Cima is a tiny town, and home to the first pizzeria I visited after moving here; the lovely Taverna D’Andrea.

Suggested needles

4 and 6 mm / US 6 and 10 circulars, minimum 60 cm long. Use Magic Loop for neckline and sleeves, or use DPNs or small circulars.

 

Gauge

17 sts x 14 rnds in pattern (see instructions for pattern below) using larger needles = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches.

 

The gauge stated is for the washed and blocked swatch.

Please note that needle size is only a suggestion. The pattern refers to the smaller and the larger needle – always choose the needle size needed to get gauge!

 

Pay extra attention to your gauge when working the sleeves. Many knitters will tend to have a tighter gauge when working in a smaller circumference. If this is true for you, please adjust your needle size accordingly, by going up one or two sizes!
