A celebration of simplicity and graceful lines, The Anna Everyday Blouse is a minimalist boat-neck top featuring contiguous shoulder construction and delicate, softly gathered balloon sleeves. Designed for knitters who love clean structure and effortless elegance, this blouse offers a timeless silhouette that transitions beautifully from casual to refined wear.

Worked seamlessly from the top down, the pattern uses the contiguous method to shape shoulders and sleeves for a flattering, modern fit without complex seaming. The gentle boat neckline frames the collarbones, while the small balloon sleeves add a hint of femininity without overwhelming the design.
