PetiteKnit Cloud Blouse pattern

PetiteKnit's Cloud Blouse feels like you're wrapped in a fluffy cloud of cotton candy. The instructions are on an A5-sized high-quality print magazine.

The instructions are available in both Finnish and English.

The Cloud Blouse is knitted from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth and the shoulders are shaped with short rows. Then the shoulders are worked back and forth separately with short rows. The shoulders are joined to form the front yoke. The front and back pieces are joined at the armpits and the body is worked in the round with circular needles. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round. Finally, the neckline is worked from the picked up stitches. Knit a sample patch before starting to make sure you have the right needle size.

Size guide

The blouse has approximately 12–15 cm of slack. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a chest circumference of 75–80 (80–85) 85–90 (90–95) 95–100 (100–110) 110–120 (120–130) 130–140 (140–150) cm. The measurements of the finished shirt are given on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start working so that you can choose the right size. Example: if your chest circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) is 90 cm, choose size S. The chest circumference of a size S shirt is 102 cm, so in this case there would be 12 cm of slack.
