Rosemary Blouse

ABOUT THE PATTERN
DIFFICULTY: Medium

Blouse with a classic fit, three-quarter sleeves, and detailed edges.

The Rosemary Blouse is knitted top-down. First, the neckline is shaped with short rows, while raglan increases are made.

The edges along the body and sleeves are finished with a delicate pattern consisting of knit and purl stitches.

FIT
The measurements given are the finished measurements of the blouse. It is designed to have a positive ease of 10 cm. Example: if your bust measurement is 97 cm + 10 cm = 112 cm, then you should knit a size L.

The Rosemary Blouse is named after rosemary, which is one of my favorite plants. It is said to represent clarity, strength, and protection. In ancient times, it was used to cleanse both home and mind. I personally put a sprig in my drinking water; it tastes really good.
