{"product_id":"poppy-tee-petite-knit-patterns","title":"Poppy Tee | Petite Knit patterns","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Poppy Tee is worked from the top down. First the top part of the back yoke is worked with increases, then the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the slanting sides at the back yoke. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the sides of the shoulders and the rest of the yoke is worked together on the circular needle, first back and forth and then in the round. The body is worked in the round on a circular needle, and the sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. At the end a folded neck edge with built in double knitting is worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Wash and block the swatch before taking any measurements. Be aware that if you are knitting in the recommended yarn, the knitted fabric can grow when washed – this is the reason it is important that you wash your swatch before measuring your gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Poppy Tee is designed to have approx. 5 cm [2 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 5 cm [2 inches] larger in circumference than your bust 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 (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are given on the first page of the pattern. Please note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is obtained. Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 6 cm [2¼ 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 90 (96) 101 (106) 115 (125) 136 (146) 155 cm [35½ (37¾) 39¾ (41¾) 45¼ (49¼) 53½ (57½) 61 inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e52 (54) 56 (58) 59 (60) 63 (66) 70 cm [20½ (21¼) 22 (22¾) 23¼ (23½) 24¾ (26) 27½ inches] measured mid back excl. neck edge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge: \u003c\/strong\u003e23 sts x 32 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 3.5 mm [US4] needles \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCircular needles: 3.5 mm [US4] \/ 60, 80 and\/or 100 cm [24, 32 and\/or 40 inches] and 3 mm [US2½] \/ 40, 80 and\/or 100 cm [16, 32 and\/or 40 inches]; Double-pointed needles: 3.5 mm [US4] and 3 mm [US2½] (unless you use the Magic Loop technique)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggestion :\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 \u003ca href=\"tel:(200)%20200-250\"\u003e(200) 200-250\u003c\/a\u003e (250) 250 (300) 300 (300) 350 g 4ply\/ fingering weight yarn (approx 50 g = 235 m [257 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eheld together with\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 (100-125) 125 (150) 150 (175) 175 (175) 200 g Kid Silk Mohair (approx 25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft Silk Mohair by Knitting for Olive (25 g = 225 m [246 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggestion 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e 175-200 (200) 225 (250) 275 (300) 325 (350) 375 g Kid Silk Mohair (approx 25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) (with two strands of yarn held together)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e: ★ ★ ★ ★ (4 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57126649102667,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9285\/8699\/files\/IMG-1324.jpg?v=1777196487","url":"https:\/\/manchesterwoolandyarn.com\/products\/poppy-tee-petite-knit-patterns","provider":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
