Lea Tee is a classic, fitted V-neck T-shirt knitted in a light cashmere yarn.

Lea Tee is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. The stitches are cast on using a provisional cast-on. First, the upper back is worked, followed by the front shoulders, one shoulder at a time. The neckline is then shaped, and the two front sections are joined to form the front. The front and back are joined below the armholes, and the body is worked in the round to the bind-off. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up directly around the armholes, and the sleeve caps are shaped back and forth using short rows. The remainder of each sleeve is worked in the round and finished with a rolled edge.

Lea Tee is designed for a close fit with negative ease, meaning that the finished bust circumference is smaller than the fullest part of your upper body. The fabric is very stretchy, so the tee will fit comfortably despite its close fit.

Measure the fullest part of your upper body and subtract 8–14 cm / 3¼–5½ in. Compare this measurement with the finished measurements and choose your size accordingly.

Shown in size B. The model has a bust circumference of 88 cm / 34¾ in.
