Kobolt is an airy yet close-fitting, short-sleeved blouse designed to be worn directly against the skin or layered over a lightweight camisole. The garment is worked top down in ribbing on circular needles, in one piece, with increases at each shoulder. Once the yoke has been shaped, the body is worked first while the stitches for the short sleeves are placed on hold. The sleeves are then worked separately.
