Anker’s Summer Shirt by PetiteKnit: An adult short-sleeved summer shirt with a ribbed circular yoke and a light cotton-linen blend fabric.
Construction
Knit down from the neckline, working increases through the ribbed yoke before moving into stockinette and raglan shaping. Finish the sleeves in the round; the only finishing is weaving in ends.

Before you begin
Make a washed or blocked swatch and check both gauge and fabric before starting. Buy complete balls, allowing extra yarn for swatching, changes to length or fit, and differences in gauge. The metre figures are based on the designer’s quantities, rather than exact measured consumption.
