BELLA BLOUSE is an elegant, soft sweater with a small, feminine bride on the neckline and sleeves. The stitches are strung on the basis of the Italian mesh cut and the twine on the neckline is knitted in a crossed rib pattern. Then the bride is knitted around the neckline using Fair Isle knits. The pass is knitted smoothly on the right. In order to create width and a good fit on the back and around the cutout, shortened rows are knitted on the upper part of the fit. Before the work is divided into sleeves and torso, increases are knitted along the arm cutouts. The body and sleeves are knitted smoothly on the right. The torso is sealed with rib patterns and the sleeves are sealed with a bead, as well as rib patterns and Italian chaining.
