About the pattern: Your purchase includes two versions of the Flora Blouse pattern and a separate guide to horizontal bust darts. Version 1 has a tighter neckline, and Version 2 has a wider neckline for sizes 1–5. My testers suggested including both, so you can pick the fit you like best. Sizes 6 -11 are the same in both versions, because their neckline already fits like the sample’s.

The Flora Blouse is worked seamlessly from the top down.
You begin by casting on for the neckline and working the neck chart. The stitches are then divided with markers to set up the short rows and the body increases. Increases are worked every round, forming a shoulder seam that sits neatly along the top of the shoulders.
Once the increases are complete, the work divides at front and back, and each is knit separately, flat, down to the armhole. The pieces are then rejoined in the round and the body is worked in stockinette to the hem. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are knit in the round.
The neckline, hem, and cuffs are trimmed with a leaf colorwork motif, and the neckline is finished with a single flower centered on the front. Optional bust darts are included in the pattern.
