Frequently asked questions
Why is the finished chest smaller than the body measurement?
This tee is designed with negative ease. At a 90 cm bust, size S finishes at 87 cm, giving 3 cm of negative ease in that example.
Is Tynn Line held double as it is for Ivy Top?
Not for this tee. The stocked Sunday and Tynn Line options below are each knitted as a single strand. Ivy Top uses different gauge and strand instructions.
