Knitting pattern for Dahlia summer t-shirt 

Dahlia t-shirt is a pretty and classic t-shirt with a beautiful, structured stitch pattern, inspired by the Dahlia petal structure. Designed in light summer yarns, consisting of cotton, linen and a thin wool / cashmere blend, it is perfect for a Danish summer day. We have invented some new increase techniques that you will learn as you go.

The t-shirt is worked in a simple stitch pattern, which results in a pretty structure. It is easy to knit, top-down, which lets you fit the sweater to your measurements as you go.

The design is normal in size, with a positive ease of approx. 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) compared to your body measurements, and features deep armholes and short sleeves. The pattern also describes how to knit 3/4 long sleeves if you wish.

The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page.

Gauge: 23 sts and 32 rows/rounds in structure knitting on needle size 3,5 mm / US 4 = 10x10 cm / 4x4 inches

The t-shirt is worked all the way through with one strand of No 21 and one strand of No 13 held together.

Recommended circular needles: Sizes 3 and 3,5 / US 2.5 and 4.

Directions: The t-shirt is worked in the round from the top down. Stitches are cast on using the provisional crochet cast-on method to allow adjusting the neckline later. Short rows are used over shoulders and the back of the neck to make the neck higher at the back. The yoke is worked with raglan increases and deep armholes. The work is then divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately.
