Description

Pattern (PDF) for the Barbroe Blouse by Knitting for Olive.

The Barbroe Blouse is a delicate and feminine lace sweater with an elegant textured pattern. The sweater features a slightly raised neckline that closes at the back of the neck with three charming buttons.

When knitting the Barbroe Blouse, you work from the bottom up. The body is knitted in the round before the front and back are separated at the armholes and both pieces are finished separately. This method allows for a precise fit and gives the blouse a perfect shape.

The sweater is a true eye-catcher and adds an elegant touch to any outfit. With the Barbroe Blouse, you get a timeless and sophisticated garment that is ideal for a variety of occasions.

Size guide: The blouse is designed with negative ease, meaning it is smaller than your actual bust circumference.
