Knitting Kit - Aris Blouse by Caidree

The Aris Blouse is a classic raglan-sleeve design with a V-neckline. It features mid-length sleeves that reach just above the elbow, as well as a narrow button placket on the front, adorned with small buttons.

The blouse is entirely knitted in stockinette stitch and finished with classic ribbing at the sleeves and waist. The yoke and body are knitted flat, while the sleeves are knitted in the round.

The pattern is knitted holding two strands of lace weight yarn together throughout the project.

The blouse is designed to be worn with 0 to 10 cm (0 to 4 in) of positive ease.
