Bea Blouse - PetiteKnit

The Bea Blouse is knit from top to bottom in one piece with a boat neckline. Short rows are knit at the neck so that the back is higher. On the yoke, sleeve increases are knit first, followed by raglan increases. The body is knit in the round in stockinette stitch. The sleeves are knit in the round in stockinette stitch.

Size guide

The Bea Blouse should have a negative ease of -2 cm relative to your bust measurement. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, taken on the body, of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The finished blouse measurements 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 you measure 90 cm around your bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A blouse in size S has a finished bust width of 88 cm and will in this example give a negative ease of -2 cm. The measurement chart is available here.
