EASE TEE is worked in stockinette stitch, with a simple silhouette and a shoulder line slightly pushed forward.
The tee is worked seamlessly from the top down. First, the rib neck edge is worked in the round. Then, short rows are workedto shape the neckline, before the yoke is worked in the round until the total shoulder width is achieved.
The work is then divided into a front and back yoke, which are worked back and forth. After this, stitches are picked up and knitted along the armholes, and the work is again joined to be worked in the round to the bottom of the armholes. Here, the work is divided into body and sleeves.
The body is worked in the round and finished with a lightly curved hem and a rib edge. The sleeves are also worked in the round and are finished with a rib edge.
As the tee is worked from the top down, it is easy to adjust the body and sleeve lengths along the way to fit you perfectly.

The amount of positive ease you like in your clothes varies from person to person. To help you choose which size to knit, measure one or more of your favorite tops so you can compare the measurements to those listed above.
My EASE TEE has 38 cm of positive ease in the white version and 33 cm in the green version. Generally, I would recommend 20-40 cm of positive ease, depending on the look and fit you want.
