The Marielle Blouse is worked top down in a lace pattern.

The yoke is worked back and forth. First, the upper part of the back piece is worked with contiguous shoulder increases. The shoulder pieces are worked separately from picked up stitches on the back piece. The shoulder pieces have increases for the neckline and are joined into one front piece by casting on stitches mid front. The front piece has increases for the armholes.

The front and back piece are joined and the body is worked in the round on circular needles. Stitches are picked up around the armhole and the sleeves are worked in the round on circular needles without decreasing. Both sleeves and body are finished in single rib and Italian tubular bind-off.

For the neckline, a folded neckband in single rib is worked from picked up stitches.
