Needles and additional tools:
Circular needles No. 3 and No. 4 on a 80/100 cm cord; stitch markers; sewing needle.

For knitting the sleeves and neckline you can also use dpns or short circular needles on a circular cord.

GAUGE

19 stitches x 28 rows = 10 cm (gauge is the same in pattern and stockinette) on needles No. 4, single strand.
20 stitches x 40 rows = 10 cm (stockinette) on needles No. 3, single strand.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

The blouse is knitted bottom up in a single strand. The body and sleeves are knitted separately in the round up to the armholes, then joined at the yoke and knitted together.
The main pattern is knitted only on the stitches of the front, the auxiliary pattern is knitted partially on the stitches of the back, which will form the shaping.
This description provides for a cropped length of the blouse. You can adjust it to your preferences by adding half a repeat or a full repeat.

Row 1: alternately knit two stitches together knitwise, one yarn over.
Row 2: for circular knitting, all stitches knit; for turning knitting, all stitches purl.

knit

yarn over

Knit 2 stitches in place of 1 knit stitch

Using a crochet hook with an auxiliary yarn, cast on onto smaller needles:

132 sts (for size
142 sts (for size 65–69 cm)
154 sts (for size 70–75 cm)

Mark the beginning of the round with a marker and work in the round with the main yarn (Try to knit tightly enough to prevent the toothed edge from stretching later):

Rows 1–6: knit stitches.
Row 7: 2ПВП to the right, 1 YO.

Rows 8–12: knit stitches.

Transfer the stitches from the provisional cast-on to another pair of needles of the same size, remove the auxiliary thread.
Check that the number of stitches on both pairs of needles matches.
Then fold the connected fabric so that the right side faces outward and the wrong side inward, and execute the 13th row, knitting two stitches together from one needle and from the other needle as knit.

14th row: knit stitches.

In the next row, add 44 sts/ 34 sts/ 22 sts:

15th row:

[3 knit stitches, 1 knit-purl slip] – repeat to the end of the row.
5 knit stitches, 1 knit-purl slip, [4 knit stitches, 1 knit-purl slip] – repeat 33 times, 5 knit stitches.
[7 knit stitches, 1 knit-purl slip] – repeat to the end of the row.

On the needles: 176 sts (88 sts back and 88 sts front).

Main section
Change to larger needles. On the stitches of the front knit the main pattern according to Chart 1 (1st horizontal row).

the pattern according to Chart 2 and Chart 3 respectively.
For convenience you can separate these stitches with markers:

Right front: МНР, 22 sts, M, 22 sts, M;
Back: 10 sts, M, 69 sts, M, 9 sts, M;
Left front: 22 sts, M, 22 sts.

Knit Rows 16–79 as follows:

Right front: 44 sts – Rows 1–64 of Chart 1;
Back: 10 sts – Rows 1–64 of Chart 2, 69 knit stitches, 9 sts – Rows 1–64 of Chart 3;
Left front: 44 sts – Rows 1–64 of Chart 1.

(See page 1 in Appendix 1)

❗ Please note that the bobble stitch pattern begins from the 2nd part of the 1st repeat, and also at the seam between the stitches of the front and back (in the last stitch of the Right Front and in the 1–2 stitches of the Left Front) the bobble pattern is not worked and the label “Bobble” in Chart 1 at these places should be ignored.

❗ The charts show only the odd rows, in which the pattern is worked.
All even rows (including the last 64th row) are knitted with knit stitches.

bobble

You can increase the body length by the required amount in 5.5 cm, which is equal to half of the vertical repeat of the main pattern (16 rows).

Thus, to increase the length by 5.5 cm, start knitting the main pattern from row 17 of Chart 1 after the increases (after the 15th row of the body) and work a total of 2.5 repeats (half a repeat: rows 17–32 of Chart 1; plus 2 full repeats: rows 1–64 of Chart 1).

To increase the length by 11 cm, start knitting from row 1 of Chart 1 and add 1 full vertical repeat (rows 1–32 of Chart 1) and knit a total of 3 repeats.

The pattern on the back stitches, knitted according to Charts 2 and 3, should be knitted the same as indicated in the corresponding rows of Charts 2 and 3. That is, if you start knitting the main pattern from row 17 of Chart 1, the pattern on the back stitches starts the same from row 17 of Chart 2 and 3, and is knitted in the same sequence as the rows of the main pattern.

Keep in mind that if the final length of the garment drops significantly below the waistline, you will need to change the initial stitch count, optimal for your size.

Don't forget that when knitting the first half of the bobble repeat, the bobbles are not worked.

SLEEVES

Garter edge

Using a crochet hook with an auxiliary yarn, cast on 44 stitches on the smaller-size needles.
Mark the start of the round with a marker and knit in the round with the main yarn:

Rows 1–6: knit.
Row 7: 2ПВП вправо, 1 Н.
Rows 8–12: knit.

Transfer the cast-on edge stitches to the other needle of the same size, remove the auxiliary yarn.
Check that the number of stitches on both needles matches.
Then fold the knitted fabric with the right side facing out, the wrong side facing in, and work the 13th row, knitting two stitches together from one needle and from the other needle.

14 row: knit.

In the next row, increase by 22 stitches:

Row 15: [2 ЛП, 1ЛППЛВЛ] – repeat to the end of the row.

Stitches on needles 66 P.

Main part

Switch to larger needles. Mark every 22 stitches with a marker, which represent one repeat of the main pattern, and knit the sleeve as follows:

Rows 16–79: 1–64 row of Chart 1.

❗ As with the body, the bobble pattern starts from the second half of the first repeat.

❗ After finishing the sleeves, mark with markers 15 underarm stitches: the first 8 stitches of the row and the last 7 stitches of the row. Remove the remaining markers. (See page 2 in Appendix 1)

Yoke

The yoke is knitted in stockinette stitch, except for the last repeat of the floral bobble pattern (if you are knitting the pattern with them).

Row 80 (joining):
Knit 37 stitches (right front), then slip 15 stitches onto an auxiliary thread or cord. Take the sleeve and with the working yarn from the body knit 51 stitches (start knitting from the first stitch of the marker row), and slip the remaining 51 sleeve stitches onto the auxiliary thread/cord.
Continue knitting the body: 73 stitches, slip the next 15 stitches onto the auxiliary thread/cord.
Attach the second sleeve: with the working yarn from the body knit 51 stitches (start knitting the sleeve from the marker, and slip the remaining 15 stitches of the sleeve onto the auxiliary thread/cord, knit 36 stitches (left front).

Continue knitting the sleeve from the marker, and slip the remaining 15 sleeve stitches onto the auxiliary thread/cord, knit 36 stitches (left front).
