Rep rows 9 to 20 (9 times) and bind off.
Front:
Do it as the back. I rep rows 9 to 20 (5 times).
Divide the row (43 sts on each side):
Right Front:
Rows 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45: p the first st and follow st pattern on the row until last 4 sts and finish the row with: p1, p1, p2tog.
Row 2 and all the even rows: purl all sts.
Rows 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35, 39, 43, 47: p the first st and follow st pattern on the row until last 4 sts and finish the row with: p3.
In the end we'll have 31 sts (and we'll have 9 rep of the pattern). Bind off.

Sleeves:
I marked the 8th square of the front and back. Then I picked up the sts (every 1, 1 and 2 rows as I showed in the video) so I had 38 sts on the back and front totaling 76 sts for the sleeve.

If you want blouse longer at the waist: just do 7 repetitions of the pattern (I did 5) or do 2 more repetitions of the pattern before the neckline and in the back do 9 repetitions of the drawing. (You will spend 4 skeins).
