Ivy Blouse

The Ivy Blouse is knitted from the top down in one piece. The yoke is constructed by first knitting shoulder increases, then sleeve increases, and finally raglan increases. Short rows are worked to shape the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique.

Size Guide

The Ivy Blouse should have approximately 2 cm of movement allowance (positive ease) relative to your bust measurement. 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, measured around the body. The measurements of the finished blouse are given on the front cover of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is maintained). Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit size S. A blouse in size S has a width of 92 cm and will provide 2 cm of movement allowance (positive ease) in the above example. Size chart available here.
