EDITH & CLOTILDE (EN)

Description

DESCRIPTION
EDITH and CLOTILDE are two versions of the same boxy t-shirt design. Featuring a wide neckline and designed to be worn with plenty of ease, they are knitted seamlessly, from top to bottom.
You begin by knitting the upper back flat. Stitches are then picked up to work the two front sections separately, which allows for shaping the neckline. Once the two front sections are joined, you continue knitting in one piece until the desired armhole depth. The body is then knitted in the round. After a round of decreases, a 1/1 ribbed edge neatly finishes the bottom of the t-shirt. The finishing touches are made by picking up stitches around the neckline and armholes to knit 1/1 ribbed edges.
Choose your favourite version (or knit both!):
EDITH: vertical pattern in fancy ribbing, light and fresh,
CLOTILDE: horizontal pattern with openwork stripes, in a revisited sailor style.

LEVEL
Both versions are accessible to beginners!

SIZES OFFERED
Edith and Clotilde are offered in 9 sizes for a bust measurement of 74, 84 (94, 104, 114)(124, 134, 144) 155 cm or 29, 33 (37, 41, 45) (48.75, 52.75, 56.75) 61 inches.
The bust measurement of the finished t-shirt is 96-109(122-135-148)(162-175-188)202 cm or 37.75–43(48–53.25–58.25)(63.75–69–74)79.5’’.
I suggest wearing it with a positive ease of 22 to 47 cm (8.75 to 18.5’’) but you can choose your size based on the final measurements of the t-shirt.
