Ithilien Blouse

Introducing our beautifully crafted sweater knitting pattern, designed for knitters of all skill levels! This pattern starts by creating the back panel, which is then placed on hold for further construction. The next step involves picking up the shoulders directly from the cast-on edge of the back panel; you’ll work the left shoulder first, followed by the right shoulder. Once the right shoulder reaches the desired length, you will knit across it, then cast on stitches for the neck front, and continue by knitting across the left shoulder. As you progress, you will knit back and forth to complete the remainder of the front panel. At the underarm, you'll transition to knitting in the round for the rest of the body, ensuring a seamless finish. The hem features an easy-to-follow four-round repetition so you can enjoy knitting without the complexities of cabling or slipping stitches. To add versatility to your sweater, you can choose to knit elbow-length sleeves, which are picked up and crafted from the top down. We incorporate German Short Rows to beautifully shape the shoulders and create an optional high-low elbow effect that pairs wonderfully with the lace leaf edge. For those who prefer a different style, the hem pattern can also be utilized in place of the lace edge, allowing you to create chic three-quarter length sleeves. Comprehensive instructions are included, making this knitting pattern both user-friendly and adaptable to suit your style. Whether you’re making this sweater for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, it promises to be a cozy addition to any wardrobe. Experience the joy of knitting with our detailed pattern today!
