The blouse is knitted top-down in stockinette stitch with contrast stripes. First, a part of the back is worked, then both shoulders are knitted. Stitches are then picked up along the top of the shoulder so that the yoke can be worked seamlessly. The sleeves and neckline are completed at the end, and the edges are finished neatly with an Italian bind-off.

It is recommended to knit a swatch to check the gauge before knitting the blouse. The yarn Cotton Merino (KFO) may produce a slightly looser gauge than Palet (Isager), and in that case, the blouse should be knitted with thinner needles (3/US2.5 and 3.5 mm/US4) to ensure the correct size.

About the sizes
The sizes are based on a recommended positive ease of 8-11 cm, which you should add to your actual bust measurement (or the widest part of your upper body) to determine the correct size.

 

The model in the photo has a bust measurement of 83 cm and is wearing size XS, which gives 12 cm of positive ease. The total length of the blouse is 52 cm, measured at the center back excluding the neckline ribbing. The blouse is knitted in Palet from Isager, in the colors Linen and Navy.
