Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the V-neck Cumulus Blouse instructions for this round neckline?
Choose the Cumulus Blouse Round Neck pattern for this version. It has its own round-neck construction and measurements, even though both blouse designs use two strands of fine mohair/silk yarn.
Is the Cumulus Blouse Round Neck neck edge folded double?
No. All edges are finished with i-cord, including the round neckline. Check that technique before starting if you have previously knitted only ribbed neckbands.
