The little sister to my wardrobe staple Movement Sweater pattern. The Movement tee features eyelet details, a fun stripe sequence, and compound raglan shaping for a comfortable fit without excess bulk at the underarm.

YARN: DK weight yarn. Sample shown in Sandnes Garn Duo (55% merino, 45% cotton, 115m per 50g ball).

Solid version: approx. 485 (570; 625; 681; 768) (857; 953; 1006; 1057) metres / 530 (623; 684; 745; 840) (937; 1042; 1100; 1156) yards in total. If using sample yarn, you will need 5 (5; 6; 6; 7) (8; 9; 9; 10) balls.

Stripe version: for stripe sequence shown in sample, you will need
approx. 340 (403; 438; 477; 538) (600; 667; 704; 740) metres / 372
(441; 479; 522; 588) (656; 729; 770; 809) yards of MC and 145 (172; 187; 204; 230) (257; 286; 302; 317) metres / 159 (188; 205; 223; 252) (281; 313; 330; 347) yards of CC.

As a rough guide, the stripe sequence shown in sample is approx. 70% main colour and 30% contrast colour.

GAUGE: 20 sts and 28 rows to 4 inches / 10 cm in stocking stitch
blocked. Suggested size 3.75 mm.

NEEDLES & NOTIONS:
3mm, 3.5mm & 3.75mm circular needles of varying lengths for working neckband, yoke & body in the round
3.75mm & 3mm needle(s) of your preferred length for working small
circumferences in the round (ie. DPNs, short circulars, magic loop) for sleeves
You will also need a tapestry needle, stitch markers, stitch holders, and scrap yarn.

SIZING
Sizes 1 (2; 3; 4; 5) 6; 7; 8; 9 detailed below, designed to be worn with approx 2-3” / 5-8 cm positive ease.
Sample shown is a size 2 worn on a 34” bust with approx 1.5” positive ease.
If you are between sizes, SIZE DOWN. Choose a size based on your UPPER BUST measurement, not your full bust. This will ensure the best fit.

If you are on the petite side or have a small frame (ie. narrow shoulders, even if you have a large chest) I’d also recommend sizing down. If the shoulders are too big, the whole item will look sloppy and ill-fitting. This tee was graded based on an average cross back width of 14 (14.25; 15; 15.25; 16) (16.25; 17; 17.25; 18) ” / 36 (36; 38; 39; 41) (41; 43; 44; 46) cm. You may wish to factor this into your size choice.

To fit bust: 28-30 (32-34; 36-38; 40-42; 44-46) (48-50; 52-54; 56-58; 60-62) inches / 71-76 (81-86; 91-97; 102-107; 112-117) (122-127; 132-137; 142-147; 152-157) cm.

Finished bust: 32 (36; 39.2; 44; 48) (52; 56; 60; 64) inches / 81 (91; 100; 112; 122) (132; 142; 152; 163) cm.
