ABOUT THE WORK Playful V-neck is knitted top down with raglan increases, turning stitches, and increases for the V-neck.
The first part of the piece is worked back and forth with reverse stitches to make the blouse higher at the neck. Then, raglan increases and increases are made at the front to shape the v-neck. Then, the piece is gathered and worked in the round until the armhole, after which the body and sleeves are finished separately. The body and sleeves are worked in a contrasting textured stitch. The sleeves are slightly trumpet-shaped. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neck, and the collar is worked back and forth with reverse stitches at the neck and increases to shape the tips.

FIT
The blouse is intended for a small positive ease of 5 cm - for example, if your chest measurement is 94 + 5 = 99 cm, you should knit size M.
