EVERYDAY_LOOP_BLOUSE

EVERYDAY_LOOP_BLOUSE is a simple and timeless raglan piece. The design combines simplicity with fine ribbing details that add a discreet but unique effect. The blouse has a classic fit with a round neck, straight body and narrow sleeves with a slight fare – a sure favorite in any wardrobe. 

Everyday_loop_blouse is worked from top to bottom. The piece starts at the neckline, followed by German Short Rows which give extra height to the neck. The yoke is worked in the round with raglan ribbing and increases, which shape the shoulders. Then the work is divided into body and sleeves, which are worked in the round individually. The raglan ribbing continues down the body, where decreases and increases are worked to shift the ribbing towards the front piece, which give an elegant detail. Then the sleeves are worked at the end.
