This pattern is in Swedish.
The Jenny Blouse is knitted from top to bottom. First, the back is knitted back and forth in smocking stitch with short rows. Then stitches are picked up along the top of the back piece where the shoulder sections will be knitted. These are also knitted with short rows. The body is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted in the round in smocking stitch. The pattern includes instructions for knitting the sleeves both with and without decreases. Finally, stitches are picked up for the double-folded neckline.
Knit a swatch to check your gauge before you start knitting. Remember to wash it before measuring your gauge.
Size guide
The Jenny Blouse should have a positive ease of about 8 cm. 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 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 94 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size M. A blouse in size M has a finished bust measurement of 102 cm and will, in this example, provide a positive ease of 8 cm. The measurement chart is available here.
