Pattern Notes
Construction: Worked top-down, allowing you to try it on as you go.
Cables: Because the pattern consists of many cables, it is recommended to work them without a cable needle for a faster workflow. The pattern includes a chart for visual guidance.
Fiber Note: Since the blouse is knitted in silk mohair, it will shape itself to the body during wear. The sleeves may grow slightly in length, while the body tends to give more in width .
