(To
purchase/download, please click the image)
This easy-to-knit summer design in size 38/40 is made from 250 g cotton-blend yarn for needle size 3.5–4.0, 50 g – 125 m.

PDF pattern is illustrated.
The finished shirt has a stretchy back width of approx. 44 cm and is approx. 65 cm long, but also looks pretty when shorter. Thanks to the simple pattern (made with yarn overs, knit and purl stitches) and cut, this piece can easily be adapted to any size.
What else we need:
Measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for sewing in ends, stitch holder, if needed a set of double-pointed needles size 3.5–4.0; row counter and stitch marker are helpful but not absolutely necessary.
