PetiteKnit Cumulus Blouse O-Neck Knit Kit
PetiteKnit Cumulus Blouse O-Neck Knit Kit
Create the light, softly brushed Cumulus Blouse O-Neck by PetiteKnit using African Expressions Hope, an airy lace-weight yarn with 80% kid mohair. Two strands are held together throughout to produce a beautifully soft fabric with gentle structure and a luminous halo.
The blouse is worked seamlessly from the top down in stockinette stitch. The neckline is shaped while the yoke is worked back and forth, before the work is joined in the round. Raglan increases shape the yoke, and the body, sleeves and round neckline are finished with neat i-cord edges.
