Jeanne Blouse

*JEANNE BLOUSE* is a refined and minimal design, worked in half brioche stitch with Pearl Mohair. This stitch creates a soft, ethereal texture that drapes beautifully. Timeless and elegant, the blouse embodies effortless femininity. **CONSTRUCTION:** This pattern is worked from top down in half brioche stitch.
