Construction
First, the top of the back piece is knitted from the shoulders and a short distance down the back piece. Then, stitches are knitted for the front piece along the shoulder stitches of the back piece. Each side of the top of the front piece is knitted separately. The slanted shoulders of the front piece are first formed with reverse knitting needles and increased for the neckline. Then, the two sides of the front piece are gathered. Then, stitches are knitted to the top of the sleeve. And the front piece, back piece and sleeves are knitted together to the end of the armhole. From here, the body and sleeves are finished separately. Finally, the neckline is knitted along the neckline.
Size selection
The Vega Tee is intended to have a range of movement of 5-10 cm depending on how loose you want it. Here it is shown with a range of movement of 10 cm. Find your bust by measuring around your chest (or the largest measurement of your upper body). Then look at the measurements that are listed first in the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the top). Positive ease is the difference between the measurements you have taken of yourself and the measurements of the top. For example, if your bust is 94 cm, a size M will give you a range of movement of 10 cm (104 cm - 94 cm = 10 cm).
*Length is measured center back, excluding neckline.
