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. Stitches are picked up and knitted along the neck edge and a wide rib is worked, the same as on the body and sleeves.
The wool and printed German pattern is included in this KIT.
