ABOUT THE WORK
DIFFICULTY LEVEL MEDIUM

The Basic Blouse is, as the name suggests, a classic blouse that fits into any wardrobe. The pattern is simple and focuses on making the knitting process easy and accessible.

First, cast on for the neck, and the yoke is knitted with raglan increases and reverse rows, using the German Shortrows technique, to shape the neck.
Then the sleeves are put to rest and the body is knitted separately. Then the sleeves are knitted, making decreases along the inside of the sleeve. Then the stitches are picked up along the neck and the collar is knitted in rib.

Movement space
Approx. 15 cm. Measure yourself at the widest point of your chest and add 15 cm to your measurement. Choose the size that is closest or go up one size for a looser fit.
