Dempsey: "The Bistro Shirt is an easy-to-knit, stylish summer top-- also great for wearing under a jacket in the office." If theres a more basic, iconic American sportswear piece, we have yet to see it-- and Dempsey is kind enough to offer it in two gauges - knit it in worsted weight or for a faster knit, in bulky. The little cap sleeves are shaped within the front and back pieces, and then the shoulders are cast off together, so the only seams are the side and underarms ones-- hardly worth mentioning. Back neck is shaped for a good shoulder fit. Collar is finished in a slip stitch rib. Hints and tips abound for customization in length. A great garment for beginners! Huge fit possibilities to knit for women 31-49" with the finished piece 36 (39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54)" at bust.
