English PDF knitting pattern. Downloadable instructions; yarn and tools are sold separately.
A colourful, light shirt made from a slightly shiny viscose-cotton blend.
The Livi shirt is worked top down with a two-tone relief pattern consisting of knit and purl stitches. It is knitted working flat and in rounds down from the underarms with a provisional cast on that results in an invisible join from the back to the front at the shoulders.
The sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL) are designed to fit a chest circumference of 32 (35, 38, 42, 47)"
The shirt has a relaxed fit and is worn with a positive ease of 9 – 11".
Example: If your bust circumference is 35", you choose size M. With a positive ease of 11", the shirt will fit very loosely.
