THIS IS A PRINTED PATTERN.  Anker Tee is worked from the top down. The yoke is worked in sections of rib with increases in the round, followed by classic raglan increases when the stockinette stitch section begins. The sleeves are worked at the end, either on double-pointed needles or on circular needles using the Magic Loop technique. Anker Tee has no finishing other than weaving in ends.

Size guide
Note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is kept.
Anker Tee is designed to have approx. 0 cm [0 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 0 cm [0 inches] larger in circumference than your widest upper body measurement.

Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or your widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] you should knit a size S. A size S shirt has a finished circumference of 90 cm [35½ inches], which in the given example would mean 0 cm [0 inches] of positive ease.Bust circumference: 84 (90) 96 (100) 111 (121) 131 (139) 151 cm [33 (35½) 37¾ (39¼) 43½ (47½) 51½ (54½) 59¼ inches]

Length: Total length: 50 (52) 55 (57) 59 (62) 64 (66) 68 cm [19¾ (20½) 21¾ (22½) 23¾ (24½) 25¼ (26) 27¼ inches]

Gauge: 28 sts x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 3 mm [US2.5] needles after wash and blocking

Suggested needles: Circular needles: 3 mm [US2.5] / 40 and 60 and 80 or 100 cm, 2,5 mm [US1.5] 80 or 100 cm [16 and 24 and 32 or 40 inches], 

Double-pointed needles: 3 mm [US2.5] and 2,5 mm [US1.5] (if the Magic Loop technique is not used)

Materials: 175 (200) 200 (225) 250 (275-300) 300 (300-325) 350 g Elise from Permin (25 g = 115 m [126 yds]) 

Suggested Substitute Yarns:Instead of Elise from Permin use 175 (200) 200 (225) 250 (275-300) 300 (300-325) 350 g of Hjertegarn's  Organic TRIO ( 50g=230 meters/ 252 yards).

If your pattern calls for yarn you don't have, but you want to use a yarn you DO have, there are some general (and loose) guidelines.
BUT, I still recommend making a swatch before beginning a project with any yarn.

When holding together:

2 lace weight yarns = 1 fingering/sport
2 fingering weight yarns = 1 sport/DK
2 sport weight yarns = 1 light worsted
2 DK weight yarns = 1 worsted/heavy worsted
2 worsted weight yarns= 1 chunky/bulky
2 chunky weight yarns = 1 super bulky

Yarnsub.com is also a great guide for yarn substitutions.
