The Selestine Tee is the summer version of the Blouse. Knitted from fine yarn, it combines modern cables with a slim silhouette and an elegant drape. The construction remains seamless: worked top-down, the front and back sections are joined at the shoulders, and the sleeves are knitted on directly. Refined I-cord edges provide the design with a high-quality, clean finish. A timeless essential for warm days that perfectly balances textile sophistication and summery lightness.

Choosing the right size:

The Selestine Tee is designed with a positive ease at the bust of approx. 2 to 7 cm [0.8 to 2.8 in].

Example: If you have a bust circumference of 92 cm (36.2 in), choose size M. Because 97 cm [38.2 in] is closest to a size M with 95 cm [37.4 in].

Gauge

27 sts / 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 in] in pattern after washing and blocking on 3.00 mm [US 2.5] needles.

Important: For a well-fitting tee, the gauge must be met exactly. Choose the needle size that allows you to obtain the correct gauge.
