It’s knit seamlessly from the top down using a contiguous sleeve construction that builds out the shoulders and sleeves in one fluid motion, it’s worked seamless. A wide boat neckline, finished in structured 2x2 ribbing, makes it feel both elevated and cozy.

Swatching is highly recommended! Since cotton and blends can behave differently, definitely block your swatch for the best results.

Yarn
This pattern was designed using Berroco Bozzolo, a light worsted-weight, chainette-style cotton blend with a soft drape and breathable feel.

Suggested Yarn Substitutes: Look for light worsted or heavy DK yarns that achieve the same gauge. Cotton, linen is perfect for the summer, and different wool blends were tested, creating a cozy, beautiful blouse.
