ROBINIA TEE is a simple T-shirt top with an elegant pattern worked in stranded knitting. The top is worked from the top down. First, the back and front yoke are worked back and forth; then, the two sections are joined for the body, which is worked in rounds. Stitches are picked up and knitted along the armholes, and the sleeves are worked top down and finished with an edge in twisted rib. Short rows are worked on the front and back yoke and sleeves to create an excellent fit.

How much positive ease you like in your clothes varies from person to person. Measuring some of your favorite tops can be a good idea to help you choose the perfect size.
I like my ROBINIA TEE to fit loosely, so I have 17 cm of positive ease.
