FAQs
How is the Uukii Shirt constructed?
The shirt is worked seamlessly from the top down using the Contiguous Method by Susie Myers.
This creates a refined shoulder shape without seams.
After shaping the neckline, you continue with increases for the front, back and sleeves.
The body is then knitted in the round, while the sleeves are finished separately.
What is the Contiguous Method?
The Contiguous Method is a modern top-down construction that mimics the look of a set-in sleeve –
but it’s worked entirely in one piece without seams.
It gives the shoulders a clean and natural fit.
Can I adjust the length or fit?
Yes – thanks to the top-down construction, you can try on your Uukii Shirt as you go.
You can easily adjust the length of the body and sleeves to suit your style –
whether you prefer a shorter, fitted, or more relaxed version.
Which yarns are suitable for the Uukii Shirt?
The original sample was knitted in Erika Knight Studio Linen –
a light, breathable yarn made from recycled linen and viscose.
You can also use other summer yarns such as:
– Drops Belle
– BC Garn Allino
– Sandnes Line
– Novita Woolly Wood
For cooler seasons, light wool or mohair blends work beautifully –
just make sure your gauge matches.
How are the rolled edges made?
The rolled edges form naturally when working in stockinette stitch.
They curl softly outward and give the shirt its characteristic, casual look.
If you prefer a straight edge, you can replace them with a short ribbing or an I-Cord edge.
Which needles are recommended?
– Circular needle 3.5 mm (40–60 cm and 80–100 cm)
– Optional: Circular needle 2.5 mm for I-Cord edges
– For the sleeves: short circular or Magic Loop
Who is this pattern suitable for?
The Uukii Shirt is suitable for ambitious beginners with some experience knitting top down.
All steps – from the cast-on to the I-Cord edging – are clearly explained,
and the pattern includes photo support and video links to the rosa p. YouTube channel.
