Structure:
The blouse is worked in one piece bottom up back and forth in rows in lace pattern. The button band is worked in stockinette stitch directly onto the body from the beginning onwards. After the desired body length is reached, the front parts and the back part are finished separately. Both front parts are worked with decreases to shape the V neck of the blouse. Therefore, the stitches of the button band are cast off and the decreases are worked according to the lace pattern for a neat finish.
As soon as all parts are finished, the stitches are cast off and the shoulder seams are closed with the mattress stitch. Alternatively, you can use the Three-Needle- Bind-Off-Technique to avoid seaming in the end.
The fit of the blouse is slightly loose with no ease or a little positive ease of up to 5 cm. The shoulders are a little bit dropped, the length is short so that you can wear it perfectly with high waisted trousers and skirts in summer.
The lace pattern is easy to memorize and creates a stunning, breezy look.
