Amiina
Introducing the Amiina Blouse, a beautifully crafted seamless cropped-length design that showcases a vintage silhouette, perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish yet functional garment. This pattern is worked from the bottom-up in the round, making it an engaging project for knitters of various skill levels. The shoulders are skillfully joined using a 3-needle bind-off, ensuring a smooth finish, while the sleeves are picked up and knitted top-down in the round using double-pointed needles (DPNs). The pièce de résistance of the Amiina Blouse is the stunning three rounds of stranded colorwork at the waist, which adds a lovely lacy detail and elevates the overall aesthetic of the blouse.
The Amiina pattern is thoughtfully graded for eleven sizes, ranging from 28" to 48" at the bust, with sizes available in convenient two-inch increments. This thoughtful sizing ensures a well-fitted garment that accommodates a wide range of body shapes and sizes, making it an ideal choice for knitters seeking inclusivity in fashion. Each pattern has been meticulously tech edited, ensuring clarity and accuracy throughout the knitting process. For optimal results, we recommend using US #2 (2.75mm) needles, but remember to swatch beforehand to guarantee your needle size achieves the correct gauge for your project!
