This pattern coordinates with #02 Skirt for Two-piece Dress. The blouse has a split hem, with bias bands knitted separately and and sewn to hem and cuffs.

From Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 1962:
“Un-fussy as a Rugby shirt, the top of this two-piece dress has skinny raglan sleeves, a squared-off neck, and a banded edge. Pink is an all-feminine factor. Easy to knit.”
