Foamtrace Blouse

**New Release Special: 15% OFF** Valid: Today-23:00 Sep 7 (UTC+8) No code required, auto-applied upon purchase. ***Foamtrace Blouse*** is the second original design in the Foamtrace Collection. It reinterprets the signature cables and openwork lace of *Foamtrace Shawlette*, reimagined for a long-sleeve top with top-down set-in shoulder construction. Work progresses from the back yoke through the neckline, front yoke and main body, finished with a stretchy herringbone-stitch rib hem to define the waist. Sleeves are worked in the round after picking up stitches around the armholes. Built on a stockinette base, the piece combines cable and lace patterns for undulating wave texture, with German short rows shaping the neck curve, shoulder slope and sleeve lines. It balances intricate details with a comfortably wearable everyday fit. ———————————————————————— **Sizes** XS/S/M/L/XL/2XL/3XL/4XL **Bust circumference**（cm/in） 80/31, 84/33, 90/35, 96/38, 104/41, 112/44, 122/48, 131/52 **Size Recommendation** Choose the size based primarily on your body bust measurement. -For a slim, close fit: pick the size with a finished bust closest to your body bust. -For a relaxed, slouchy fit: choose a size with a finished bust 5–10 cm larger than your body bust. ***NOTE*** *Sample 1 (Size M, light blue): pictured in a relaxed fit with approx. 8 cm of bust ease Sample 2 (Size S, grey): pictured in a close fit with approx. 1 cm of bust ease* ———————————————————————— **Needles & Tools** -US5/3.75 mm 80 cm circular needle, US6/4.0mm 40 cm / 60 cm circular needle, US7/4.5 mm 80 cm circular needle; adjust needle size as needed to match gauge. -Stitch markers, stitch holders, tapestry needle -3.5–4.0 mm crochet hook (optional) **Yarn Requirements** Lace-weight mohair or brushed yarn held double; or fingering-weight mohair or brushed yarn worked single. *Sample 1* Alpaca-merino brushed yarn (52% Merino, 26% superfine alpaca, 22% nylon) 50g/430m per skein, worked held double Estimated yarn weight / meters: (135, 140, 150, 165, 185, 200, 220, 240)g / (1161, 1204, 1290, 1419, 1591, 1720, 1892, 2064)m *Sample 2* Hand-dyed silk mohair (60% superfine mohair, 40% silk) 50g/442m per skein, worked held double Estimated yarn quantity: (119, 128, 140, 156, 176, 193, 218, 243)g / (1052, 1132, 1238, 1379, 1556, 1706, 1827, 2048)m **Gauge** 19 sts × 24 rows = 10 cm (4 in) in stockinette stitch (knit RS, purl WS) on 4.5 mm needles, measured after blocking
