With previous garments, I have found through testers and my own samples, that these patterns can easily accommodate from 4”\/10cm up to 10”\/25.5cm of positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials\u003cbr\u003eYou will need one stitch marker and one BOR marker, waste yarn or extra needles to hold live stitches, darning needle, scissors, measuring tape, and your super amazing body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechniques\u003cbr\u003eYou will need to know how to pick up stitches, knit in the round, purl, increase, decrease, hold stitches, complete a sewn bind-off, block, weave in ends, and have fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuggested Yarn\u003cbr\u003eSunfish from thelittlewolfknits: 75\/25 superwash merino\/nylon, fingering weight 4-ply, 463yd\/424m per 100g.

When swatching, remember to cast on more stitches than you’re intending to measure so that you can get an accurate measurement (the end and beginning stitches tend to be looser). I recommend using this tutorial to start and finish the swatch for the most accurate measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYardage:\u003cbr\u003eFor the top as written to the cropped length, you’ll need: 405, 447, 490 (560, 605, 650, 694)\u003cspan\u003e774, 821, 867\u003c\/span\u003eyds\/370, 409, 448 (512, 553, 594, 634)\u003cspan\u003e708, 751, 793\u003c\/span\u003em of Sunfish.

I was able to do so on my sample, however, if you don’t want to play yarn chicken - get the extra skein!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach additional 1”\/2.5cm of length to the body will require approximately an additional 34, 38, 41 (45, 49, 52, 56)\u003cspan\u003e60, 63, 67\u003c\/span\u003eyds\/31, 34, 38 (41, 45, 48, 51)\u003cspan\u003e55, 58, 61\u003c\/span\u003em.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"thelittlewolfknits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52543982010655,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/5586\/1670\/files\/8ee30973-e777-48c3-8e17-aefb17b79012-HolliBeth.png?v=1778809661","url":"https:\/\/thelittlewolfknits.myshopify.com\/products\/bay-day-tee-knitting-pattern","provider":"thelittlewolfknits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
