Evelyn Striped Blouse

There is something special about stripes – we love stripes, especially narrow ones. Evelyn Striped Blouse is a classic, simple and elegant striped blouse, originally designed as part of our 2020 Advent Calendar.

The blouse is knitted in our Önling No 12, a lovely blend of cotton and wool. The result is a soft, lightweight blouse that is perfect all year round. Wear it on its own in summer or under a beautiful cardigan or jacket in winter.

The sleeves are designed in a ¾-length, and the pattern also includes instructions for knitting them full length, if preferred. The blouse has a slightly oversized fit with approx. 5–10 cm / 2–4 inches of positive ease, and the neckline is finished with a pretty double rolled edges.

Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.

3 stitch markers
Stitch holder

Gauge 22 sts and 36 rows in stockinette st on needle size 3½ mm / US 4 = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches

Procedure
The blouse is worked in the round, from the top down. Stitches are cast on using a provisional crochet cast-on method; this allows the neckline to be adjusted at the end of the process. Short rows are worked across the shoulders and the neckline in the beginning to make the back of the neck higher. The yoke is worked with increases. The work is then divided into body and sleeves and finished separately.
