Ultra chic and modern, the STRIA Summer Blouse is set to become a staple in your hand-knit warm weather wardrobe. Its breezy design features a simple, open-knit stitch pattern combined with a drapey, relaxed fit – ensuring maximal stylish comfort on even the hottest of summer days!
STRIA is an entirely seamless, top-down knit. The Back and Front Panel(s) are both worked flat (back and forth) until the armhole depth is reached. From here, both panels are joined and the remainder of the blouse is worked in the round.
The blouse’s ‘sleeves’ and neckband are all worked in the exact same manner – in the round, (almost) entirely in twisted ribbing, and bound off with a beautiful Italian Bind-Off.
This pattern is also available as a blog post, here.
