Sage Blouse

Sage Blouse is a seamless cardigan-style blouse with shoulder saddle details, gentle gathers, puff sleeves, and crocheted picot edging. Hook-and-eye closures can be added along the front edges as desired. The pattern is written for four sizes: 0 (1) 2 (3), with a finished bust circumference of 104 (110) 116 (126) cm / 41 (43¼) 45¾ (49½) in. Choose a size with approximately 15–20 cm / 6–8 in of positive ease. Gauge is 21 sts and 31 rows = 10 × 10 cm / 4 × 4 in in Stockinette Stitch using 4.5 mm / US 7 needles. The pattern uses 4.5 mm and 3.5 mm knitting needles, plus a 3.0 mm / US C/2 crochet hook. The original yarn, Other Stitch Room Merif, is sold only in Korea and may be difficult to source elsewhere. **De Rerum Natura Ulysse** is recommended as a substitute because of its similar weight, fiber composition, and ability to achieve the stated gauge. Please swatch before beginning to confirm gauge and fabric drape. The pattern includes written instructions, charts, and video references for selected techniques. Experience with German short rows, picking up stitches, and basic crochet edging is recommended.
