Sunday Tee Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
The Sunday Tee
The Sunday Tee is knit from the top down. The circular yoke is worked in the round in a rib pattern and shaped with increases. Short rows are worked after the yoke has been completed to raise the back. The body and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch and finished with a neat folded edge.

The Sunday Tee is designed to have approx. 2 cm of positive ease. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75–80 (80–85) 85–90 (90–95) 95–100 (100–110) 110–120 (120–130) 130–140 (140–150) cm.

Size Guide Explanation
The Sunday Tee is designed to have a close but comfortable fit with approximately 2 cm of positive ease. Choose a size based on your actual bust measurement, adding the intended ease. If you prefer a looser fit, consider going up one size.
Always knit a swatch and wash it before measuring to ensure the correct gauge, as small differences can significantly affect the final measurements and fit.
