Enjoy 20% off this pattern with the code ELBA from now through June 19 midnight, any time zone.

Elba Tee is the cabled version of my design Geometry. It has the same front panel shaping, but this time the sides are worked together with the front panel at the same time instead of modularly. The cable pattern comes with both charted and written directions. No short rows are used in the pattern. This pattern comes with video tutorials.

Elba Tee is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.
