Instructions for a Freestyle Shirt

The FREESTYLE shirt is a simple raglan top with short sleeves. Whether solid-colored or striped, it's a versatile all-rounder that's easy to combine and perfect for spring and summer. The design is by Susanne Müller. (Instagram: @paulastrickt)

The shirt is knitted seamlessly from the top down. First, the neckline is shaped using short rows (worked back and forth). Then, it's knitted in the round, with increases for the body and sleeves. After the raglan increases are completed, the work is divided, and the body and sleeves are finished separately. Since the shirt is knitted from the top down, it is possible (and advisable) to try it on while knitting, allowing you to individually adjust the length of the body and sleeves.

Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL)
Fits bust circumference: 74-81 (82-89) 90-97 (98-107) 108-117 (118-127) cm

Measurements:
Bust circumference: 88 (96) 103 (113) 123 (133) cm

The shirt should have approximately 5 - 7 cm of positive ease. However, it also looks good oversized with a bit more ease (10 - 12 cm positive ease). For example, if your bust circumference is 90 cm, you should choose between size S and M.
