Rita Tee

The Rita Tee is a cropped ruffle sleeve top with bold filet detailing across the body of the garment, with a matching row across the ruffle sleeves. The classic boat neck and deep sleeve holes makes this top a great make for wearing throughout Summer. It's a super easy make, so perfect for beginners!

The pattern is worked with the rows laid vertically on the bottom, which ensures that your filet section is at the hem of the garment. Both the sleeves and body panels can be altered for a longer or shorter fit, just add or remove stitches to the body and rows from the sleeves. (Note: adding or removing length will affect the amount of yarn required)

Bust sizes given as XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X): 82 (92, 104, 114, 124, 134, 144, 152, 166) cm requiring 629 (692, 787, 874, 943, 1066, 1237, 1371, 1550) metres of DK weight cotton yarn.
