ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Beginner Blouse Light is designed for new knitters, who want to knit their first raglan sweater top down. I have used 2 strands of NewRetex Fiber Yarn held together with 1 strand Silk Mohair. The pattern is simple and focuses on making the knitting process easy and accessible, why I have included video instructions for all the necessary techniques. The first few pages explain the pattern and the techniques used. The pattern is placed after these instructions. If you are an experienced knitter, you may skip the introduction and go directly to the pattern.
The pattern contains no abbreviations. Everything is written out clearly so you do not have to worry about understanding complex knitting terms.
If you want to use scrap yarn for the blouse, feel free to look at my simple “how to” guide here.
Positive ease: Approx. 10 cm | roughly 4 inches. Make sure to measure the widest point around your bust and add 10 cm | 4 inches to find your size. You can choose a size below your chest measurement for a tighter fit or a larger size for an oversized fit.
YARN ALTERNATIVES
General tips on choosing yarn alternatives:
When using yarn alternatives it is important to always create a swatch to ensure you achieve the recommended gauge in the pattern. If the yarn is different from the recommended, you can adjust the gauge by adding more strands or adjust the needle size.

Is your yarn stock low - or does it just need a breath of fresh air? Then buy a Stopgarnspil package from Garnspecialisten, which sells deadstock and surplus yarn that would have been burned if they hadn't saved it.
Jeg er ikke begyndt endnu, men har læst opskriften og den virker nem.
Glæder mig til at strikke den 👌
Har læst opskriften - den er det næste projekt jeg skal lave..
Opskriften er nem at følge, og trøjen får en god pasform. Jeg elsker især rullekanten og at den nemt kan strikkes i alverdens rester. Denne opskrift kan virkelig anbefales!!
Nem at følge, fine detaljer og perfekt til at variere m farver.
Jeg har lige strikket min første frejasknit trøje. BEGYNDER BLUSEN LIGTH er meget nem at forstå. Og den er skøn.
Den bliver min basis opskrift til mine kommende “restegarnbluser”
