The blouse is worked from top to bottom.
First the back yoke is worked back and forth, while also
making increases on each side right before the outer
stitches. When the full width is reached, the piece is
worked straight down to the armholes.
Stitches for fronts are picked up along the shoulder and
on each side of the neck separately and worked back
and forth.
Afterwards stitches for sleeves are picked up on each
shoulder and the pieces are joined together on one
needle, which is worked back and work while also
making increases towards the neckline.
The piece is joined at the bottom of the neck opening
and worked in the round until the sleeves reach the full
amount of sts.
More increases are made for the body before the sleeve
stitches are set aside while the body is finished.
Then sleeves are worked from top to bottom.
Finally, stitches are picked up along the neck opening
and the neckline is worked.

Inspiration:
There have been several productive and skilled Danish female designers throughout history.
This top is a tribute to them. Did you know, for example, that when you take the intercity train, you can sit in a seat with fabric designed by Nanna Ditzel?
Vibeke Klint has made several iconic carpet designs. Vibeke Klint worked with colours that wove into each other or formed beautiful graphic patterns, and it is her designs that are the
inspiration for this sweater.
