Bepeu is the South Korean word for ’friendship’, which is an apt description of Bepeu blouse – a friend for life. It will become a staple piece in your wardrobe, styled with slouchy jeans and a simple T-shirt underneath for that feeling of casual chic. It is knitted in a light and soft yarn combination, which opens up after washing and adds an extra something to the look and softness of the blouse.
CONSTRUCTION
The blouse is worked top down, beginning with the cast-on at the back. You then pick up stitches for the front and create the neckline, after which you join the front and the back and continue in the round. German Short Rows are added before the final ribbing, and a slit is created in the ribbing on the cuffs.
