The Cupcake blouse is knitted from the bottom up in a lace structure, featuring raglan decreases. Raglan decreases are made by knitting 2 stitches together and slip, slip, knit (ssk). The neckline has a square shape, which means knitting back and forth while maintaining the lace structure. The lace pattern is worked on both the right and wrong sides of the blouse.
The blouse has an oversized fit with a movement allowance of 10–20 cm. It’s recommended to choose a size where the bust circumference is 10–20 cm larger than your own bust measurement, depending on the desired level of oversized fit.
For instance, if your bust measurement is 98 cm, you should knit the blouse with a bust circumference of 113 cm (Size S).

The pattern is best suited for more experienced knitters as managing raglan decreases while adjusting within the chart can be challenging.
