This is an oversized lacy blouse I designed/improvised according to a request from my daughter. It has not been tested by other knitters, nor knitted in any other size. This is a small/medium designed for a skinny tall pre-teen.

Materials:
Yarn: Dimax’s filati 100% Merino Baby Wool yarn.
This yarn was bought at a market stall in Italy. Any Merino 4-ply fingering/sport weight yarn should work.
Small amount of waste yarn , preferably smooth thin cotton yarn.
Quantity: Approximately 1000 yards total
Needles: US 6 – 4.00 mm, US 3 – 3.25 mm
Gauge on lace pattern: 20 stitches x 25 rows, after blocking

Lace pattern: “Traditional Cat’s Paw” version b, as in “Cat’s Paw” version b , in the Field Guide to Knitting.
