CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The blouse has deep raglans and an oversize fit.
The design is worked from the bottom up.
The sleeves and body are worked separately and then joined for the yoke, which is worked in the round with raglan decreases on front and back. The sleeves are worked straight and then double decreases are worked at the shoulders to gather the tops of the sleeves. The pullover is finished with a wide ribbed neckline, the same as on the body and sleeves.
RECOMMENDED NEEDLE SIZE
2.5 mm [US1 1/2] and 3 mm [US2 1/2]
Note: Be aware that you might knit tighter when working in the round than you do when working back and forth, and might need to go up a needle size when working in the round.
