Sander T-shirt (EN)

Eleonora T-shirt is a light and elegant top-down T-shirt worked in stockinette stitch with beautiful and simple details. It features classic raglan increases and rib 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, producing a soft and airy fabric ideal for warmer months or as a layering piece.

Gauge is 28 sts × 38 rows = 10 × 10 cm on 3 mm needles, which gives a fine and even stitch definition. A gauge swatch is recommended to ensure the desired fit. The T-shirt comes in sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL), covering finished bust measurements from 100 to 160 cm. It is designed with approximately 20 cm of positive ease in the smaller sizes and slightly less in the larger sizes, creating a relaxed yet flattering silhouette.

The yoke is worked flat at first to shape a neat neckline, then joined in the round and continued with raglan increases. Once the yoke is complete, stitches are separated for sleeves and body. The sleeves are held aside and later worked in the round with stitches picked up at the underarm, and finished with 3 cm of rib. The body is worked straight down and finished with a 6 cm rib hem. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckband, which is worked in rib and finished with an Italian bind-off for a smooth and professional finish.

Yarn requirements vary by size and are 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 uses 3 mm circular needles (40, 60, 80 and/or 100 cm) depending on the stage of the knitting.

Eleonora T-shirt is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters who want a thoughtfully designed and comfortable garment in their wardrobe. It pairs equally well with jeans, skirts, or over a dress — an indispensable summer project.
