Yarn substitution note: Kid Cotton has 210m per 25g ball, compared with 212m per 25g ball for the mohair yarn specified in the supplied pattern requirements. The kit quantities use the doubled gram amounts for knitting with two strands of Kid Cotton. Check your washed and blocked gauge carefully; different tension or changes to garment length can affect how much yarn you need.
Size Measurements:
Refer to the included pattern for the full XXS–5XL size chart, finished measurements and guidance on choosing your size.
The Poppy Tee features a structured yoke worked from the top down. The upper back yoke is worked with increases, then shoulders are shaped from stitches picked up along the slanted edges. The body is worked in the round, and sleeves are worked using either double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique. The folded neckline with built-in double knitting creates a clean, polished edge.

- 1 x Petite Knit Poppy Tee pattern (printed).
- 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 x 25g balls of Kid Cotton, depending on the size selected.
You'll Also Need (not included):
- 3.5mm circular needles (60, 80, or 100cm).
- 3mm circular needles (40, 80, or 100cm).

23 sts x 32 rows = 10 x 10cm in stocking stitch on 3.5mm needles, with yarn held double, after washing and blocking. Swatching is essential: wash and block your swatch before measuring, and adjust needle size as needed to match the pattern gauge.
