Augustin's No. 8

Augustin's no. 8  is a blouse with a nostalgic touch, knitted on large needles. The blouse has a deep neckline in the back which is rounded off by a soft i-cord edge, as well as a beautiful rib and picot panel which forms the blouse's frills on the sleeves as well as the collar. In order to highlight the waist, there are plaited ties on the sides which give the blouse a beautiful silhouette.

Workflow: The blouse is first knitted back and forth in stockinette stitch, while sts are made for the shoulders and sleeves and the deep back cut is formed. Along the way, sts are cast on for the back, after which continue knitting in the round in stockinette stitch. The body of the blouse is finished with a folded edge. Along the neckline, which goes deep down the back, an i-cord edge is knitted, after which sts are picked up for the ribbed collar with picot. The sleeves are knitted straight down in stockinette stitch with an end corresponding to the pattern of the collar. Finally, 2 ties are braided which are fitted at the waist under each sleeve.
