Easy Summer Blouse

ABOUT THE WORK
DIFFICULTY medium

The Easy Summer Blouse is knitted top-down with German short rows and raglan increases. The blouse features a row of decorative purl stitches along the neckline, as well as folded edges at the body and sleeves. The sleeves are three-quarter length.

The pattern is written with a focus on a simple and clear knitting process and includes instructions and videos for the techniques you will need along the way.

FIT
The blouse is designed with a slightly loose fit and approx. 5 cm positive ease.

Measure yourself around the bust at the widest point and add approx. 5 cm to your measurement. Choose the size that is closest to this measurement.

Example:

If your bust measurement is 95 cm, size M with a finished bust measurement of 102 cm will provide a slightly loose fit.

If you prefer a more fitted blouse, you can choose a smaller size. If you want a looser fit, you can choose a larger size.
