Describtion
The Billie Blouse is a delicate and airy crochet blouse. It features a wide boat neckline, straight sleeves, and a delicate lacy pattern. The blouse is worked seamlessly from the top down: first back and forth over the upper back and front to shape the neckline and shoulders, then joined and continued in the round for the body. The sleeves are crocheted last by picking up stitches around the armholes and working in the round, ensuring a clean and polished finish.

Size Guide: The Billie Blouse is designed with approx. 6 cm of positive ease. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) correspond to a bust measurement (taken on your body) of 80–85 (85–90) 90–95 (95–100) 100–110 (110–120) 120-130 (130-140) cm. Make sure you measure yourself before starting, to choose the right size. For example, if your bust measures 90 cm, you should make a size S (with a finished bust of 96 cm), as this will give you the intended 6 cm of positive ease.
