Frankie Blouse - PetiteKnit

The Frankie Blouse is knitted from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. Short rows are knitted at the neck to shape the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or circular needles. The Frankie Blouse is knitted with narrow stripes.

Size Guide

The Frankie Blouse should have a positive ease of about 0-5 cm in relation 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. The finished blouse measurements are indicated on the front 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 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 91 cm and will, in this example, provide a positive ease of 1 cm. The measurement chart is available here.
