The Clover Tee has a small clover lace pattern on the yoke but is otherwise completely simple in stockinette stitch and with narrow ribbed edges. The Clover Tee is knitted from the top, so it is easy to get the perfect length of the sleeves and body. Short rows are worked before the lace pattern to that the neckline gets a nice fit.

Selecting a size
Clover Tee has an intented positive ease of 7-14 cm 2,5-5,5 inches. It is shown with approx. 8 cm 3 inches of positive ease. Find your personal size by measuring yourself around the chest (or the largest part of the body). Then look at the measurements at page 1 (this is the finished measurements of the Tee). Positive ease is the difference between your bust circumference and the bust circumference of the Tee. Is your bust circumference e.g. 94 cm 37 inches, a size M will give you 10 cm 4 inches of positive ease (104 cm – 94 cm = 10 cm). 41 inches – 37 inches = 4 inches The length is measured at the centre back, including the neckband.

Construction note
Clover Tee is worked top-down. After the neckband, short rows are worked to make the front neckline lower than the back. Then the yoke with lace pattern is worked, raglan increases are made and finally the sleeves and body are separated and worked one at a time.
