Metres are converted from the designer’s quantities using Sandnes Garn Sunday: 235 m per 50 g, Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair: 212 m per 25 g. Columns are separate colour and yarn requirements. Allow for swatching and any added length.
Wash and block your swatch before measuring. Match both stitch and row gauge in the stated stitch pattern; adjust needle size as needed and check the fabric’s drape.
Frequently asked questions
How are the main and contrast colours knitted?
Use one strand of Sunday with one strand of Tynn Silk Mohair in each colour combination. The four columns separate main-colour yarns from contrast-colour yarns.
Is the whole tee knitted in the round?
The neckline starts back and forth. Once it is shaped, the rest of the yoke is joined in the round with raglan increases.
