ABOUT THE WORK

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: BEGINNER

Beginner The blouse is designed for beginners who want to knit their first raglan sweater from the top down, knitted with 2 strands of NewRetex Fiber yarn + 1 strand of Silk Mohair. The pattern is simple, and focuses on making the knitting process easy and accessible, with instructions and videos for all the necessary techniques. The first pages review the pattern and the techniques used. This is followed by the pattern itself. If you are an experienced knitter, you can skip the introduction and go straight to the pattern.

The pattern contains no abbreviations. Everything is written clearly so you don't have to worry about understanding complex knitting terms.

If you want to knit the blouse from yarn scraps, check out my guide here.

Movement space: Approx. 10 cm. Measure yourself at the widest point of your chest and add 10 cm to your measurement. Choose the size that is closest to your measurements or go down one size for a tighter fit, or up one size for a looser oversized knit.
