Augustin's No. 9

Augustin's no. 9  is a moderated version of Augustins' older children's design Birkeblouse. There has therefore been a focus on conveying its characteristic neckline with bow ties, the wide width of the body and the roundness of the back. As a new addition, the sleeves of this version have been designed to be puffed and the neckline has been given a picot fold. Overall, it gives a nice and light blouse which, with its timeless expression, will do well in every capsule wardrobe.

Workflow: The blouse is first knitted back and forth from top to bottom in stockinette stitch with a folded picot neckline, in which a wide bow band is introduced to close the blouse at the back. In the middle of the support piece, allowances are made, where there are, the rest of the work is knitted in the round in stockinette stitch. Finally, the body is knitted further back using the German Short Rows technique. The sleeves are puffed and, like the body, have folded edges.

Remember the knitting test.
