PATTERN | ALAKA SHIRT

The ALAKA short sleeve shirt is worked seamlessly in rounds from top to bottom. Directly below the neckband, an inverted V eyelet pattern forms a decorative round yoke. The pattern is gradually expanded until the necessary width is reached. Finally, the sleeves and body are separated and continued in sequence, with the lace pattern continuing down the middle of the sleeves.

The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows: S (M; L; XL; XXL) = 32 (35; 39; 42; 47)” / 82 (90; 98; 107; 119) cm bust circumference (measured at the body). The shirt has a relaxed fit with a wide opening. Example: If you have a bust measurement of 35” (90 cm), then knit the shirt in size M and it will fit loosely with a positive ease of 3.1” (8 cm).
