Anker's summer blouse - PetiteKnit knitting pattern

The Ankers summer blouse is knitted from the top down. The yoke consists of segments in a rib pattern, followed by classic raglan increases. The sleeves are knitted last on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop method. The Ankers summer blouse does not require any seams. Please make a gauge swatch first to determine the correct needle size for you. Remember that the swatch must be both washed and stretched before taking measurements.

Size Guide

The Ankers summer blouse should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approximately 0-5 cm in relation to your chest circumference.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL fit a chest circumference of approximately 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished blouse are on the front (note that these measurements only apply if the stitch sample is adhered to). Measure your chest circumference (or the widest part of your body) before you start knitting to determine the size that fits you best. If your chest circumference is 95 cm, for example, you should choose size M. An Ankers summer blouse in size M has a chest circumference of 96 cm and in this case would have a positive ease of 1 cm.
