The model in the picture is knitted in Tynn Line from Sandnes Garn in color code 1015.
The top is knitted from the top down in textured knit on the front and back and stockinette stitch on the sleeves. It is knitted back and forth until the front cutout is finished, then it is knitted in the round. Increase on both the right and wrong sides, a total of 4 increases per round, on each side of the shoulder stitches. Increase for puff sleeves as well. Then increase for raglan on the sleeves and on the front and back. The sleeves and body are finished with an i-cord edge.
I recommend that you try the top on during the knitting process. Also take your experiences from how your swatch has changed before and after rinsing. This way you can knit the perfect garment for your body.
The recipe is long. Some people like to read the entire recipe before starting. Feel free to do so, but my biggest recommendation is to read this recipe paragraph by paragraph, sentence by sentence, and voila, you're done.
Size guide
Chest measurement of approximately 85 (90) 95 (100) 110 (120) cm corresponds to size XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL). The blouse has a range of movement of approx. 5 - 15 cm. This means that if you measure approx. 90 cm around the chest, you should knit a size S. I measure 93 cm in width and have knitted a size S. Measure yourself before you start knitting.
It is a good idea to knit a test piece before you start to check that the knitting tension is correct. Note that the knitting tension is stated after the top has been rinsed.
