Windy Shirt is a modern and airy summer shirt. It has a loose-fit style and an elegant boat neck, which gives the garment a feminine and refined look.

Windy shirt is worked from the bottom up in back and forth rows. The bottom edge is worked in a 1x1 rib crochet edging. The armhole is finished with a garter stitch effect motif, very similar to knitting.

Level: beginner friendly.

This pattern includes written instructions as well as numerous video tutorials to guide you through all steps. You will also find instructions on how to change the length as you like.

Sizes
XS, (S), M, (L), XL, (2XL) to fit a bust circumference of: [80 – 85; (85 – 90); 90 – 95; (95 – 100); 100 – 110; (110 – 120) cm]; [31 ½ - 33 ½; (33½ - 35½); 35½ - 37½; (37½ - 39½); 39½ - 43¼; (43¼ - 47¼) inches].

Length: 47, (47), 54, (54), 54, (54) cm

Windy shirt is designed to have approx. 24 to 28 cm of positive ease, meaning the finished garment will measure 24 to 28 cm larger than your actual bust circumference. 

Gauge
10 x 10 cm = 18 sts x 9 rows with a 4 mm hook in a lace stitch pattern.

Recommended Hooks
4 mm, and 4.5 mm. 

We reccomend to use the hook size that allows you to obtain the correct gauge indicated in the pattern (if your tension is tight, you may need a larger hook, if it is lose you may need a smaller one). 

Notions 
You will also need stitch markers, scissors, a tape measure and a tapestry needle.

Yarn 
You will need approximately 500 (600), 700, (800), 900, (1000) meters of DK weight yarn. 

Please note that the yarn amount may vary based on your personal modifications and the type of fiber used.

For this project, you can use different types of yarn, such as cotton, viscose, linen, etc. The important thing is to select a yarn with a similar yardage to the one indicated (respecting the weight/length ratio), and always make a gauge swatch before starting your work. 
To ensure a lightweight garment and optimal drape, we recommend using yarns that are not too heavy. 

For my shirt, I used one and a half skeins of Tencel (100% Lyocell; 200 g / 450 m per skein).
