Rigmor’s Summer Blouse is knit from the bottom up with raglan decreases on the yoke. The sleeves are knit on double pointed needles and then joined together with the body before knitting the yoke. The neckline is shaped by short rows. To prevent the neckline from losing its shape with wear, you can sew a thin elastic thread in along the inside of the neck band. The blouse features a simple and feminine lace pattern.
