Shine Bright Blouse

Featuring cables, spikelets and twisted stitches, the yoke of my new blouse is very entertaining to knit, but I decided to add even more fun and used the beads as well. The pattern got a cheerful and playful name Shine Bright Blouse. It is made seamlessly from the top down with 3/4 sleeves. The ease across sizes is 16.5 cm/6.5”. The picture shows size 3 with 16.5 cm/6.5” of positive ease.
