Stitches used

3x3 rib: k3, p3, k3. Stockinette: k on the right side, p on the wrong side. Garter stitch: k every row. Sleeves lace pattern: follow chart 1. Front lace pattern: follow chart 2. Raglan lace pattern: follow chart 3.

Gauge- 10x10 cm square in stockinette with 4 mm needles = 22 sts x 29 rows.

Execution – the blouse is knit in the round. Place a stitch marker before the 1st stitch so you don’t lose track of the beginning of the round.

Front, back and sleeves- are worked together until the end of the yoke. Start at the neckline. Cast-on 138 sts on the 4 mm needles and work in 3x3 rib in the round. When the work measures 3 cm from the cast-on edge, increase by 4 sts on the 1st round and work as follows: right after the BOR st marker, k 17 sts (half of the back- stockinette), place SM, make 10 sts in the raglan stitch pattern (chart 3), place SM, 17 sts in the sleeve lace pattern (chart 1), place SM, 10 sts in the raglan st pattern, place SM, k 15 (stockinette), 4 sts in front lace pattern (chart 2), k 15 (stockinette), place SM, 10 sts in the raglan st pattern, place SM, 17 sts in the sleeve lace pattern, place SM, 10 sts in the raglan st pattern, place SM and k 17 other half of the back- stockinette). Knit in that order for 48 rounds, increasing 1 stitch on each side of the sleeves, front and back following their respective lace patterns (chart 1 for sleeves, stockinette for front and back)- 24 increase rounds. You should end with 65 sts on each sleeve and 82 sts on each front and back, 332 stitches in total with the 10 raglan sts.When you’re done with the increases, split the stitches as follows: 65 sts for the first sleeve, 102 sts for the front, 65 sts for the second sleeve and 102 sts for the back. Place the sleeve stitches on the stitch holders and, going forward, work only in the front and back. Cast-on 14 sts on each underarm to join front and back (232 sts in total). Work the 4 center front stitches in the front lace pattern (chart 2) and all remaining stitches in stockinette.Once the body measures 18 cm from the underarm, make 4 [7] evenly distributed decreases, knit in 3x3 rib for 12 cm and bind-off in pattern.

Sleeves- pick up and knit 14 sts on the underarm and place the sleeve stitches back on the needles. Place a stitch marker on the beginning of the round so you don’t lose track of it. Knit in the round in the Sleeves lace pattern (chart 1). At 18 cm from the underarm, knit in garter stitch for 2 cm and bind-off.
