Yogurt Blouse

Yogurt Blouse The Yogurt Blouse is a relaxed-fitting, sleeveless blouse worked seamlessly from the top down. The back and front are worked flat separately, then joined at the underarms before the body is worked in the round. The neckline and armholes are finished with a 3-stitch I-cord bind off, and the front features overlapping button bands with decorative buttons.

Yarn Other Stitch Room Crumble (100% Cotton Slub Yarn) * 200 g / 750 m (820 yd) * Approx. 250 (280) 300 g * Approx. 938 (1,050) 1,125 yd Yarn substitution Other Stitch Room Crumble is currently available only in Korea. When choosing a substitute, look for a 100% cotton slub yarn with a similar yardage of approximately 375 m (410 yd) per 100 g.
