About the design…

The Café-blouse is worked from the bottom and up. First in the round until armhole, and then back and forth. The shoulders are shaped with short rows for a perfect fit, and knit together with a visible seam.
The stitch pattern is a textured mesh-stitch in combination with stockinette stitch.
You can use the Café-blouse all year round - as a summer blouse when it is hot, and as a slip-over when it is cold.
