Elva Tee 2604-07 | Printed Knitting Pattern

The Elva Tee is a classic ribbed T-shirt knitted from the top down in Sandnes Garn Line. With its simple raglan construction, shaped neckline and all-over rib texture, it is an easy-to-wear summer knit that works equally well on its own or as a lightweight layering piece.

The tee begins with the neckband before short rows are worked to create a deeper front neckline, while increases simultaneously shape the raglan. Once the raglan shaping is complete, the work is divided and the sleeves, back and front are completed separately in the rib pattern.

The model is 185 cm tall and wears a size M.
