{"product_id":"anker-s-summer-shirt-petite-knit-patterns","title":"Anker’s Summer Shirt | Petite Knit patterns","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnker’s Summer Shirt 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’s Summer Shirt has no finishing other than weaving in ends. Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Note that the swatch needs to be washed and blocked before measuring the gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnker’s Summer Shirt is designed to have approx. 0-5 cm [0-2 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 0-5 cm [0-2 inches] larger in circumference than your widest upper body measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is kept). 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 95 cm [37½ inches] you should knit a size M. A size M shirt has a finished circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches], which in the given example would mean 1 cm [½ inches] of positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes: \u003c\/b\u003eXS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 85 (91) 96 (100) 110 (120) 130 (140) 153 cm [33½ (35¾) 37¾ (39¼) 43¼ (47¼) 51¼ (55) 60¼ inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLengths:\u003c\/strong\u003e Total length: 52 (54) 56 (60) 62 (62) 64 (66) 68 cm [20½ (21¼) 22 (23½) 24½ (24½) 25¼ (26) 26¾ inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 (9) 10 (10) 10 (10) 10 (10) 10 cm [3½ (3½) 4 (4) 4 (4) 4 (4) 4 inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 4 mm [US6] needles after wash and blocking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested needles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular needles: 4 mm [US6] \/ 40, 60, 80 and\/or 100 cm [16, 24, 32 and\/or 40 inches], circular needles 3.5 mm [US4] \/ 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 inches]; Double-pointed needles: 4 mm [US6] and 3.5 mm [US4] (if the Magic Loop technique is not used)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 (300) 300 (350-400) 400\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cchrome_annotation role=\"link\"\u003e(450) 450-500\u003c\/chrome_annotation\u003e (500) 500 g DK weight yarn (approx. 50 g = 110 m [120 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e: ★ ★ (2 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57465525764427,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9285\/8699\/files\/IMG-1917.png?v=1780044359","url":"https:\/\/manchesterwoolandyarn.com\/products\/anker-s-summer-shirt-petite-knit-patterns","provider":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
