This blouse-poncho has an oversize fit. It's 70 cm in width.

After working the poncho pattern, for blouse shaping, join back and front.

Fold the panel in half (WS against WS), shaping the front section with V neckline and the back section; take care to match the M (2 M under the armpit of the right sleeve and 2 M under the left one).

38th round: 4 ch, work (1 tr, 1 ch, 1 tr) into the same 4-ch-base-space with the 1st M and into the central space of the incr.-group of the back section with the 2nd M (in this way you join the central incr. spaces of the first armpit and shape the first sleeve), remove the 2 M; (1 ch, 1 V stitch) in each 1-ch-space between the V stitches of the back until the space before the next incr.-group, 1 ch, 1 incr. group into the central ch of back incr. group and simultaneously into the central ch of the front incr. group (in this way you join the central-incr.-spaces of the second armpit and shape the second sleeve), remove the remaining 2 M, (1 ch, 1 V stitch) in each 1-ch-space between the V stitches of the front until the space before the 1st incr.-group of the round, 1 ch, 1 tr into the same base ch corresponding to 1st armpit, 1 ch, 1 sc into the 3rd of 4 beg-ch, 1 sc into the central ch corresponding to first armpit, turn.
