CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The blouse is worked from the bottom up and can be knitted either back and forth or in the round. Work begins at the bottom edge and continues in rib pattern. The sleeves are worked separately, and finally the body and sleeves are joined. The yoke is then shaped with raglan increases while maintaining the pattern according to the chart.
