PetiteKnit Anker's Summer Shirt pattern

The PetiteKnit Anker's Summer Shirt knitting pattern is an A5-sized high-quality print magazine. The pattern is available in both Finnish and English.

The pattern uses Sandnes Garn Line yarn.

Anker's Summer Shirt is knitted from the top down. The yoke consists of rib sections that are knitted in the round and the work is widened between the sections. When starting the stockinette stitch, switch to classic raglan increases. The sleeves are knitted last, either with double pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique. Anker's Summer Shirt is finished by tying off the ends. Start by knitting a sample patch, which will help you estimate which needle size will give you the right knitting density. Please note, that the pattern piece should be wetted and stretched before calculating the knitting density.

Size guide

Anker's summer shirt has 0-5 cm of room, meaning the model's bust size is intended to be 0-5 cm larger than your measured bust size.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a chest circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished piece are given on the first page of this pattern (please note that the measurements of the finished piece will only match the measurements given in the pattern if the knitting density is correct). To find the right size, measure the widest part of your upper body (chest circumference) with a measuring tape before starting. Example: if your chest circumference is 95 cm, I recommend that you knit size M. The chest circumference given in the pattern for size M is 96 cm, which for this example means 1 cm of allowance.
