The Lantern Blouse is a versatile short-sleeved spring/autumn top that strikes a lovely balance between sweet and casual. The two-color brioche stitch can be worked in two solid colors, or in a solid plus a hand-dyed yarn for extra visual interest. With flexible yarn choices, this pattern leaves plenty of room for your own creative touch.
This blouse is knitted top-down, with increases placed at the shoulders, sleeves, and body. The front bands and body are worked in one piece—no picking up stitches or seaming required. Once the body is joined in the round, you can choose to wear either the right side or the reverse side, depending on your preference. A delicate doll collar adds a touch of charm to finish the design.
