Classic raglan blouse with fancy details like slight balloon-sleeves, a peplum, a bow to close the keyhole at the back and a round neck in the sizes 1-2 | 2-3 | 3-4 (4-5 | 5-6 | 7-8) 9-10 | 11-12
| 13-14 years

Structure:
The blouse is knitted in stockinette stitch with raglan increases from top to bottom. To prepare the round neck, the right and left sleeve are worked separately. The front part is shaped with increases, the back part is worked straight to prepare for the keyhole. When the front parts are joined, work a few more repetitions until the keyhole at the back is closed to the round too. From now onwards, the blouse is worked in stockinette stitch in rounds until the end. The body is finished with a little peplum, an i-cord-edging for the peplum is optional. The sleeves are worked in rounds in stockinette stitch until the required length is reached. The sleeves are now decreased and finished with an i-cord-cast-off.
Now an applied i-cord-edging is attached to the keyhole at the back and to the round neck at the front part – the blouse can be now closed with a cute little bow at the back part.
The fit is slightly oversized with a positive ease of 5 cm for the smallest sizes and 10 cm for the largest sizes for the most comfortable feeling.
