The Sonya Shirt is a simple T-shirt with oversized sleeves and striking ribbing. The design of the shirt is by Susanne Müller, Instagram @paulastrickt. An airy, light piece, easy to combine and perfect for spring and summer.

• Sizes:
XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL

Bust circumference: 97 (102) 108 (115) 125 (135) cm
Total length: 51 (52) 54 (56) 58 (60) cm

The sweater should have a positive ease of approx. 10 - 15 cm to the body.

• Yarn:
200 (200) 250 (250) 300 (350) g ‘Bio Balance’ by BC Garn (55 % virgin wool, 45 % cotton; LL 225 m/ 50 g),
here in colour ‘Sand’.

• Needles:
Circular needle 3.5 mm / 80-100 cm
Circular needle 3.0 mm / 40-60 cm (for neck and sleeve cuffs), 80-100 cm (for body cuffs)
possibly double-pointed needles 3.0 mm (for sleeve cuffs)

The shirt is worked from top to bottom. First, the back piece is knitted and the shoulder slope is shaped using short rows. Then the left and right front pieces are knitted directly onto the back piece. Back and front pieces are knitted in rows up to the armholes. After that, both parts are joined for the body and worked in the round. The sleeve shaping is created by centred double decreases. For the sleeve cuffs, stitches are picked up from the side edges of the front and back pieces and knitted in the round in rib pattern with twisted right stitches. Finally, stitches are picked up from the neckline and also worked in twisted rib pattern.
