Maude Tee - Paper

Maude Tee is knitted from the top down in one piece. First the collar is knitted, then the yoke and finally the body and sleeves. The collar is knitted in the round so that it appears in stockinette stitch from both the front and back. The button plackets of the blouse are knitted in double stitch so that they appear in stockinette stitch from both sides. The neckline is formed using shortened/reversible needles. The yoke itself is knitted with raglan increases.

Please note that the pattern uses techniques such as Judy's Magic Cast On, German Short Rows and double knitting, and several of the techniques are used simultaneously - the pattern should therefore be read carefully, step by step, especially on the yoke while knitting.

Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge.

Size guide

Maude Tee should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 10 cm in relation to your chest measurement (i.e. the blouse should be approx. 10 cm larger than you in circumference). The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5 XL correspond to a chest measurement, measured on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished blouse are stated on the front of the pattern. Note: These measurements only apply if the knitting tension is observed. Measure yourself before you start knitting, to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size. S. A blouse in size S has a width of 99 cm, and in the above example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 9 cm.
