Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cloud Blouse the same fabric as Cloud Sweater?
No. Cloud Blouse uses two strands of fine mohair/silk yarn held together for a lighter fabric. Check its own gauge and quantities rather than using the Cloud Sweater requirements.
Is the Cloud Blouse funnel neck knitted at the start?
It is worked last from stitches picked up around the neckline. The shoulders are shaped first with short rows, and the sleeves are worked from picked-up armhole stitches.
