The Brighton T-Shirt is an easy sideways project knitted in cotton to be the one shirt you use all summer long. It’s very easy to knit and easy to adapt. To make It longer - just increase more stitches at the body increase and work it in stockinette. If you want it larger, knit more rows before and after the split for the neckline.
Gauge - 10 x 10 cm/ 4” x 4” in Fake English Rib after blocking (gauge can have a 2 sts and 4 row difference and won’t affect the pattern)
27 sts x 32.5 rows
