> New Release Sale! Enjoy 25% off Doyles > at checkout, no code needed, until > Monday, September 21. **Doyles** Doyles is a saddle shoulder blouse with loose, seamless set-in sleeves and generous A-line body shaping. It is a top down construction. Stunning sleeve lace inserts are worked separately sideways and attached to the sleeves by grafting stitches. While the black lace makes a luring blouse, I dream of having four more for fun one day...in sea green, crimson, cobalt, and jaffa. What Holst Garn Coast color would you choose? The lace charts also have row by row written instructions. **Sizes** (1,2,3,4)(5,6,7,8)(9,10,11,12) with finished sweater bust circumferences: (84,92.5,99,105.5)(111.5,118,124,130.5)(137,145.5,153.5,162)cm / (33,36.5,39,41.5)(44,46.5,48.75,51.5)(54,57.25,60.5,63.75)" Intended to be worn with about 0 to 7.5cm / 0 to 3" of positive ease at bust and/or hem. A list of measurements and schematic is provided on page 3. There is generous A-line shaping in the lower body giving finished sweater hem circumferences that are approximately 17cm / 6.5" larger than the bust circumferences. If you wish a straight lower body, simply omit the A-line increases. **Yarn** Holst Garn Coast (55% Merino Lambswool and 45% Cotton; 350 meters / 383 yards per 50 grams) in the color Black. The yarn is held double in this pattern. If using Holst Garn Coast, you will need 1 cone split into two portions, or approximately (1600,1720,1860,1980)(2100,2210,2330,2430)(2560,2720,2880,3020) meters / (1750,1880,2040,2170)(2300,2420,2550,2660)(2800,2980,3150,3320) yards in total. You can use a single strand of a different, thicker yarn. If you do, you should choose something that is around 350 meters / 383 yards per 100 grams that gives you a good fabric at the same gauge used in this pattern. If using a single strand of a thicker yarn, you will need approximately (800,860,930,990)(1050,1105,1165,1215)(1280,1360,1440,1510) meters / (875,940,1020,1085)(1150,1210,1275,1330)(1400,1490,1575,1660) yards. **Gauge** To find your needle size, you need to swatch in stockinette.
