Nybrud

**Nybrud** is a contemporary take of a classic Danish “busseronne”. It is a blouse worked top-down with 2 threads of yarn held together. It has a well-fitted contiguous sleeve construction (sleeve caps are worked at the same time as the front and back) and a wide stand-up neck in stockinette stitch. Sleeves and body can be worked to desired length. **Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7)** Upper chest circumference: 84 (90.5, 101, 111.5) (122, 130.5, 139) cm/ 33 (35.75, 39.75, 44) (48, 51.5, 54.75)” The blouse is designed to be worn with a positive ease of 0-10cm/0-4” measured at upper chest circumference".
