Rosebud Blouse

Discover the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe with this exquisite close-fitting knitting pattern for a stylish top. Designed with bust darts for a flattering fit, this top features a generous welt that sits comfortably over your favorite jeans or skirt without the risk of overstretching. Crafted from beautiful rosebud lace stitch, this design is complemented by an eye-catching bobble rib, adding texture and interest to your knitting project. The neat little collar enhances the vintage-inspired aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for knitters who appreciate classic styles.

Utilizing Fyberspates Faery Wings, a luxurious 4ply blend of silk and kid mohair, this yarn delivers a feminine touch with a slightly fluffy texture. Available in a stunning array of gorgeous shades, it's perfect for those summer days when there's a hint of chill in the air. Not only does this yarn feel delightful against the skin, but it also elevates the overall elegance of your finished piece.

This unique pattern is expertly designed so that the beautiful rosebud lace continues seamlessly around both the back and front, giving the illusion of being knitted in the round. For best results, use mattress stitch when sewing the side seams, ensuring a flawless finish. The bust dart is intricately worked over a half repeat of the rosebud lace pattern, allowing the back and front above the armhole to transform into mirror images at the armhole edge. If you decide to lengthen or shorten either the body or sleeves of your top, don't forget to adjust both accordingly to maintain the alignment of the intricate patterns above the armhole.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting your crafting journey, this top is sure to become a cherished piece in your collection. Embrace the combination of comfort, style, and sophistication with this delightful knitting pattern today!
