Simply Wool Blouse

The Simply Wool Blouse is a loose-knit blouse featuring a simple boat neck. Crafted with thin yarn and medium-sized needles, this design yields a light, airy texture. The blouse is easy to knit and a good fit for a first time knitter. The blouse is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch, incorporating raglan increases and finished with i-cord edges. The body and sleeves are worked in the round and finished with an i-cord edge. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline and bound off to create an i-cord edge here as well.

Always check the yardage when choosing yarn so that you have enough for your project. You can use any yarn you like as long as the gauge matches. I recommend always knitting a swatch that you wash before measuring the gauge. You may need to go up or down in needle size to get the correct gauge.
