ABOUT THE WORK
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: MEDIUM
The Rosemary blouse is knitted from the top down. First, the neckline is knitted, which is shaped with circular needles, while at the same time making raglan increases.
After the yoke, the body and sleeves are finished separately. The edges along the body and sleeves are finished with a fine pattern consisting of knit and purl stitches. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neck for the collar (on needles 4.5), which is also knitted in the pattern of knit and purl stitches.
The beige and white blouse in the pictures is knitted in a mix of yarn scraps together with a strand of thin sequin yarn 50 grams = 140 meters. The sequin yarn is knitted in as stripes along the way, 1-2 rounds with sequin yarn and 3-5 rounds without.

ABOUT THE WORK
Rosemary Skirt Knit from the top down, with reverse stitches to make it higher at the back. It has a fold at the edge of the waistband, where the elastic is pulled through at the end. The edge at the bottom is finished with a fine pattern of knit and purl stitches.
Rosemary Skirt and Cardigan 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 the home and the mind. I even put a sprig in my drinking water, it tastes really good.
FIT
The measurements given are the finished measurements of the skirt. It is intended to have a positive ease of 10 cm. For example; your waist measurement 80 + 10 = 90, so you should knit a size L. But you can also go down a size for a tighter fit.
CHOOSING YARN
The skirt can be knitted in mixed yarn scraps, or for example in Nepal from Drops (65% Peruvian Highland Wool, 35% Superfine Alpaca, 50 g = approx. 75 meters) which is a perfect thickness for the knitting tension. You can easily use other types of yarn as long as you reach the same knitting tension.
