A shaped v-neck blouse. The fine cable detail, beginning at the shoulders, creates a fabulous fit, as the increases grow out of each cable, making room for the chest.
The blouse is knitted top down with the ”Contiguous” method. This means that the body and sleeves are worked together.
Stitches are cast on at the neck and worked back and forth in rib with increases at the shoulders. You will work according to charts throughout the entire pattern. The startup is also described row by row.
When the shoulders have the final width, increases are made on the sleeves instead and subsequently also at the armholes.
The two front pieces are gathered to work in the round and the work is divided for sleeves.
The body is worked in the round in the rib pattern * k, p3 *. You can choose to work the body from the wrong side for fewer purl stitches. The body ends with a rib in * k, p * with Italian bind-off.
Stitches are knitted up at the neckline and a rib with decreases at the v-neck is made.
The sleeves are knitted one at a time. The sleeve stitches are transferred to the needle and stitches are knitted up under the arm. Decreases are made along the inside of the sleeves.
