PetiteKnit Bea Blouse - Physical pattern

This item is a physical copy of the PetiteKnit Bea Blouse pattern in A5 colour booklet form. Click here for the PetiteKnit Bea Blouse Kit.

The Bea Blouse is worked seamlessly from the top down with a boat neck. Short rows are worked at the neck to raise the back. The yoke is shaped first with increases for the sleeves and then with raglan increases. The body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch. Sleeves are worked at the end.

• Sizing: The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or your widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. The Bea Blouse is designed to have approx. 2 cm of negative ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 2 cm smaller in circumference than your bust measurement. The size of the finished blouse is 78 (83) 88 (93) 98 (108) 118 (128) 138 (148) cm. The measurements are achieved if the sweater is knitted to the correct gauge. Example sizing: if your bust circumference is 90 cm and you knit a size S, your blouse will have a bust circumference of 88 cm which would give you 2 cm of negative ease.
