The Sevilla Blouse has a boat neck and is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked flat, back and forth. Then the front yoke is worked and shaped by working short rows. The front and back yoke are then joined to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armholes. The stockinette stitch neck edge is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck opening.
