Pretty Peacock
Design Lisa Renner
DESCRIPTION
This wrapped blouse is constructed sideways and worked in one piece. Just sew together the sleeve seams and you are done. Using yarn in two different two different yarn weights in a short row pattern shapes the blouse and provides the graphic pattern of triangles.
The blouse is worked in stocking stitches. The edges are worked in basket weave pattern. Take your time to learn this technique, and you will soon become “fluent” in these stitches. The instructions provide a detailed description of this technique.
Finally the neck opening is worked in elongated stitches ending with one row of herringbone stitches. And then suddenly your knitting has turned into a real piece of clothing.
The left front is folded on top of the right front.
