Yarn kit for the Ida Tee by PetiteKnit.

The Ida Tee is a heavenly soft striped shirt, perfect for every season. The contrasting stripes are wonderfully cheerful and alternate with eyelet-pattern stripes. Your Ida Tee will practically knit itself.

Knit your shirt seamlessly from the top down in the luxurious, wonderfully soft Classic Cashmere by Cardiff. This cashmere yarn is simply the best: it feels incredibly good and silky soft, especially directly against the skin.

Knit the Ida Tee—it will enchant you too!

Size Guide

The Ida Tee is designed to have approximately 6 cm of ease (positive ease) in relation to your bust circumference. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a body bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished shirt can be found on the cover page. Take your own measurements before beginning the actual knitting to determine which size suits you best. If your bust circumference (or the widest point of your body) measures 90 cm, you should choose size S. A shirt in size S has a bust circumference of 96 cm and, in this example, would have 6 cm of ease (positive ease).
