Daisy Daze Blouse

Daisy Daze Blouse This blouse was named after the flowers in the lace and the feeling of a midsummer day when time slows down and everything feels a little dreamy. The Daisy Daze Blouse is a relaxed raglan sweater worked top-down in sport weight yarn. The allover lace pattern alternates between easy striped lace rows and a delicate flower motif, light and rhythmic once you find your flow. The lace is charted only. The back neck is shaped flat before joining in the round, raising the back neckline slightly and lowering the front for a better, more natural fit. Hem and cuffs are finished in ribbing with a tubular bind off for clean, stretchy edges. The neckband is picked up from the body at the end, with a small lace detail at the base echoing the body pattern before transitioning into ribbing. You can choose either a ribbed neck or a neat i-cord finish. Choose a solid or slightly tonal colorway to let the flower motif come through. Block it well for the lace pattern to really bloom. Sizes When choosing a size, measure your bust and add the intended ease, then choose the size that is closest to that measurement. You can also measure the bust circumference of your favorite t-shirt and choose a size that is closest to that. 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) Finished bust circumference: 80 (91.5, 103, 114.5, 125.5) (137, 148.5, 160, 171.5) cm / 31.5 (36, 40.5, 45, 49.25) (54, 58.5, 63, 67.5) inches including the intended positive ease of 5-15 cm / 2-6 inches Length from hem to underarm (adjustable): 30 (30, 30, 30, 32) (32, 32, 34, 34) cm / 11.75 (11.75, 11.75, 11.75, 12.5) (12.5, 12.5, 13.5, 13.5) inches Raglan length (excluding the neckband): 18 (20, 23, 24, 27) (27, 30, 30, 34) cm / 7 (7.75, 9, 9.5, 10.75) (10.75, 11.75, 11.75, 13.5) inches Sleeve length from cuff to underarm (adjustable): 41-46 cm / 16.25-18.25 inches Upper arm circumference: 34.5 (40, 40, 45.5, 51.5) (51.5, 57, 57, 63) cm / 13.5 (15.75, 15.75, 18, 20.25) (20.25, 22.5, 22.5, 24.75) inches Note: Please be aware that adjusting the length of the garment will also affect the amount of yarn needed to finish the project.
