Rubus Blouse Square-neck is a feminine square-neck blouse with raglan and puffy balloon sleeves.

The blouse does not need any final sewing despite the puffy balloon sleeves, as they are shaped with the help of in- and decreases.

The blouse is knit top down, so you can easily adjust the length at both the body and sleeves while knitting.

The blouse is supposed to be worn with approx. 0 -10 cm positive ease.

The pattern has instructions for a very short sleeve and a sleeve that goes to the elbow.
