Knitting pattern for a fluffy blouse with short puff sleeves, a round neck and embroidered flowers around the neckline in sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL.

Structure:
The blouse is knitted top down in stockinette stitch. First of all, the back part is worked back and forth in rows and the armholes are shaped with increases. For the front part, you pick up stitches for both shoulder parts along the back part and start to shape the round neck with increases. Afterwards, the armholes of the front part are shaped the same way as the back part. As soon as you have reached the total number of stitches, the blouse is closed to the round and finished in one piece. In the end, you are going to pick up stitches along the armholes to knit the ruffled sleeves with short rows. Afterwards, the blouse is finished with a collar in 1x1 ribbing and with embroidered flowers around the round neck and chest.
The fit of the blouse is slightly oversized. The romantic look of the simple blouse is created by the short, ruffled sleeves and the embroidered flowers.
