Notheng is made using few techniques, with raw edges and simpler edge stitches, making it beginner-friendly. The blouse begins with increases at each shoulder to gently shape the boat neckline. From there, the front and back pieces are worked separately until they’re joined under the arms. The body is then knitted in one piece down to the hem.

Size guide:
The fit of Notheng is loose, so you should allow for about 3 cm of positive ease. The sizes correspond to standard European sizes. The sizes (XS) S (M) L (XL) fit a bust measurement of: (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) cm.

Example: If your bust (or the widest part of your body) measures 91 cm, you should knit size M. The finished bust circumference of size M is 94 cm, giving 3 cm of positive ease.
