Clarette Blouse

Introducing the stunning boat-neck blouse knitting pattern, designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, featuring a unique circular yoke that adds a stylish touch to your wardrobe. This pattern cleverly incorporates an asymmetrical bottom, shaped with short rows, which showcases delightful welts that create the illusion of gathers. To enhance its aesthetic appeal, a chic button tab “holds” the gathers in place, adding both functionality and flair. Beneath the main body, a beautiful lace panel—knitted in a lighter-weight yarn using an easy, one-row pattern—peeks out, bringing an elegant contrast to the sweater’s overall design. The three-quarter sleeves conclude with a refined garter stitch trim, completing this versatile and fashionable piece.

Within this comprehensive knitting pattern, you will find essential fitting tips sprinkled throughout. We encourage you to read the entire pattern before getting started, making notes on any section that may require customization to achieve your perfect fit. Sizes can be adapted for length, bust darts, hip flare, and sleeve length, making this sweater a truly personalized project. As you work, we recommend trying the sweater on regularly to check for fit and comfort—after all, no one wants to spend hours on a beautiful sweater just for it to end up unworn in the back of the closet!

Skills needed: This project requires proficiency in knitting in the round, performing invisible increases, knitting lace, utilizing short rows, and making welts (instructions provided in the pattern). Additionally, some sewing is involved to attach the lace panel to the sweater securely.

Sizes: Available in a range tailored for ladies, ensuring you can create the perfect fit for your style.
