The blouse is knitted from the top down, with raglan increases to form the shoulders and sequences of alternating moss stitch and stockinette stitch, like stripes in different colors.
The blouse has a little extra length and either long or short sleeves.
The gauge is 11 stitches = 10 cm.
The blouse is 100 (110) 116 (123) cm in circumference and will fit a bust measurement of approx. 70-95 (95-110 cm) 110-120 cm (120-135 cm). The moss stitch sequences are a bit bulkier than the plain ones, which means the blouse will be slightly larger than the stated measurements.
