A charming blouse for spring and summer which costs only 5/ is something of a bargain. At least we thought so, and here it is.

Our expert knitted it in crisp cotton and the stitch is a simple lace rib. The fashionable U neck is outlined with a picot edge to match the sleeves. It should take you about 30 knitting hours to complete.

MEASUREMENTS : Bust :34 to 36in.; length : 19in.

TENSION : 9 sts. and 11 rows to 1in. on No. 11 needles.
