Cloud Blouse - Petite Knit

It becomes perfect with two strands of Soft Silk Mohair or in two strands of Kid Silk Mohair - hand-dyed.

The Cloud Blouse is knitted from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted back and forth, and shortened rounds are knitted to create a shoulder slope. The shoulder sections are then knitted separately front and back. Here, too, the shortened round is knitted. The parts are then brought together at the front and it is knitted further on the front piece. The front piece and the back are in turn brought together to form the body, which is knitted in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are knitted in the round on a circular needle based on the stitches picked up along the sleeve opening. The stockinette collar of the neck is finally knitted from picked up stitches.

Knit a test patch to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength.

Size guide

The Cloud Blouse should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approximately 12-15 cm. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, measured 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 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. If you e.g. measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A blouse in size S has an overall width of 102 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 12 cm.
