The Ophelya Blouse is a romantic blouse with airy puff sleeves made of cashmere and silk.

It is knitted from the bottom up. The body is knitted from BB Merinos, first in rounds and then in rows. The armholes are shaped by decreases. The finishing edges of the front and back are finished with an I-cord edge, which is continued in the form of straps on the sides of the edges.

New stitches are then picked up from the straps and armholes using the brushlight. The shoulders are shaped by shortened rows. The arms are then knitted in rounds in stockinette stitch up to the elbow, then gathered with decreases and finished with an I-cord edge.

XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL

Suitable for a chest circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-105 (105-115) 115-125 cm.

Final blouse circumference: 65 (70) 75 (80) 85 (90) 98 cm.

The blouse is designed with a negative ease of approximately 15-20 cm.

So, if your chest measurement is 93 cm, for example, choose size M.

Note: The greater the difference between your bust and waist measurements, the looser (smaller waist measurement) or tighter (larger waist measurement) the blouse will fit around your stomach. The model in the photos has a bust measurement of 87 cm and a waist measurement of 70 cm. She is wearing the Ophelya Blouse in size S. The blouse therefore has negative room for movement at the bust and neutral room for movement at the waist. If your waist circumference is significantly smaller than 65 (70) 75 (80) 85 (90) 98 cm, but it is important to you that the blouse fits snugly around your stomach, then you may want to choose a size smaller. Similarly, if your waist measurement is significantly larger than 65 (70) 75 (80) 85 (90) 98 cm and it is important to you that the blouse does not fit too tightly around the stomach, then you may want to choose a size larger.
