PATTERN | DELBEE SHIRT

The men ́s DELBEE shirt is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. Start work in rounds until you reach the armholes, and finish front and back separately. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the armhole edges and the sleeves are then worked in rounds. The button band and stripes on the sleeves are worked in a contrasting colour and ensure the sporty look.

The sizes correspond to bust circumference as follows: S (M; L; XL; XXL; XXXL) = 35 (39; 42; 45; 48; 51)” / 90 (98; 106; 114; 122; 130) cm) bust circumference (measured at the body). The shirt has a relaxed fit and should be worn with some positive ease. Example: If you have a bust measurement of 39” (98 cm), then knit DELBEE in size M and it will fit comfortably with a positive ease of 2.4” (6 cm). Because the fabric knitted with Sole stretches a bit with wearing, you can expect a final positive ease of approx. 3.1” (8 cm).
