Cloud Blouse

The Cloud Blouse is knitted from the top down. First, the top part of the back is knitted back and forth, and short rows are worked to create a shoulder slope. Then, the shoulder sections are knitted back and forth separately. Short rows are also worked here. The pieces are then joined at the front, and the front piece is knitted on. The front and back are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles from the stitches picked up along the armhole. The stockinette-stitch collar is knitted last from the picked-up stitches.

Knit a gauge swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.

Size Guide

The Cloud Blouse should have a positive ease of approximately 12–15 cm. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75–80 (80–85) 85–90 (90–95) 95–100 (100–110) 110–120 (120–130) 130–140 (140–150) cm. The measurements of the finished blouse are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if your bust measures 90 cm around (or at the widest part of your body), you should knit size S. A size S blouse has a width of 102 cm and will provide a positive ease of 12 cm in the example above.
