This beautifully hand dyed yarn makes the blouse look like a lovely watercolor. It’s worked top down and I have deliberately made the design very simple in order to show, that it doesn’t take years of experience to be able to make something gorgeous and very nice to wear.

How to make
The entire blouse is worked in 2 strands of yarn, top down in raglan shaping. The neckline is identical on back and front whilst the increasing/yarn over’s form a slim line of holes on each side of the marked sts.

Shape
The blouse is short with a loose fit. Both length and width can easily be adjusted, due to the top down making of the blouse. If you prefer a slim fit, work your blouse a size smaller than normal.
