Loveknit Fine Blouse English

Loveknit Fine Blouse pattern in English.

Sizes S/M (L/XL) XXL

The knitted blouse is an oversized style with 3/4 sleeves designed to give you a relaxed look. It is approx. 62 (64) 66 cm long (or as long as you prefer).

Chest width measures 112 (120) 128 cm and will fit a chest size of approx. 70-95 (100-120) 110-120 cm.

You are knitting the blouse top-down.

Knitting tension is 11 sts = 10 cm.

It is important to knit a small sample (stockinette stitch) to see if you have 11 sts per 10 cm.

You will need circular needles 8 mm: both a short 40 cm for the sleeves and one 60 cm or 80-100 cm for the body. For the ribbed body edge, use a circular needle 6 mm, which is also used for the ribbed edging around the neckline, where you knit an i-cord edge around the V-neck. You can also use the long circular needle 6 mm for the cuffs if you like to knit with Magic Loop. Otherwise, you can use double-pointed needles 6 mm.

You will also need 8 stitch markers and 2 stitch holders, or lengths of cotton yarn, to set some stitches aside.
