About this Pattern
Eleonora T-shirt is a light and elegant T-shirt worked top-down in stockinette stitch with beautiful and simple details. It features classic raglan increases and ribbed edges, giving it a timeless and feminine look. The T-shirt is knitted in Önling No. 4 — a luxurious yarn with a yardage of 200 meters per 50 g, resulting in a soft and airy fabric that is perfect for warmer months or as a layering piece.
Gauge is 28 sts × 38 rows = 10 × 10 cm on 3 mm needles, giving a fine and even stitch definition. A gauge swatch is recommended to ensure the desired fit. The T-shirt is available in sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL), covering a finished bust circumference from 100 to 160 cm. It is designed with approx. 20 cm of positive ease in the smaller sizes, slightly less in the larger ones, resulting in a relaxed yet flattering silhouette.
The yoke is worked flat at first to shape a neat neckline, after which the work is joined and knitted in the round with raglan increases. Once the yoke is completed, stitches are separated for sleeves and body. The sleeves are placed on hold and later knitted in the round, with stitches picked up at the underarm, and finished with 3 cm of rib. The body is knitted straight and finished with a 6 cm rib hem. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckband, which is knitted in rib and finished with an Italian bind-off for a flexible and professional look.
Yarn requirements vary by size and are as follows:
200 (250) 300 (350) 400 (400) 450 (500) 550 (600) g Önling No. 4, corresponding to a total yardage of 800–2400 meters.
The project is worked on 3 mm circular needles (40, 60, 80 and/or 100 cm), depending on the section of the garment.
Eleonora T-shirt is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters who want a thoughtful and comfortable knitwear piece in their wardrobe. It pairs equally well with jeans, skirts or over a dress — an indispensable summer project.
