Buelna

The Buelna tee is light and summery, with a loose fabric, boat neck and cap sleeves. It has a very simple construction, with a textured panel at the top knitted flat, an i-cord edge that is knitted at the same time as the rest and a straight stockinette stitch body knitted in the round.

MATERIALS

• Main needles: 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles for the body. Adjust if necessary to achieve gauge.
  
• Needles for the textured panel: 3.75 mm (US 5) or one size bigger than the main needles.
  
• Ribbing needles: 3 mm (US 21⁄2) or two sizes smaller than the main needles.
  
• Markers, including some removable markers, tapestry needle and waste yarn or extra cables to put the stitches on hold.

How to choose your size: measure your bust circumference, add the ease recommended below (i.e. 10-15 cm / 4-6 inches) and find the finished bust circumference measurement below that is closest to that figure. Make sure your gauge matches the one given below to ensure your finished garment will be the same dimensions.

DIMENSIONS

Finished bust circumference:
90 (101, 112, 123) (134, 145, 155) (166, 177) cm
35.5 (39.75, 44, 48.5) (52.75, 57, 61) (65.25, 69.75) in
Ease: + 10-15 cm / 4-6 inches

Fingering or light fingering yarn (400-420 m / 436- 460 yards in 100 g) in 3 colours. I used Isager Yarn Bomulin (65% cotton, 35% linen, 210 m / 229 yards in 50 g).
