Frankie Blouse / Petite Knits Pattern

The Frankie Blouse is knitted top-down with raglan shaping on the yoke and turned rows at the neckline to create the opening. Sleeves are worked in the round, and narrow stripes run throughout the design.

Designed with 0–5cm of positive ease, size up for a more relaxed fit.

 Knitted with a mohair-blend yarn held double, using a main colour plus a smaller amount of a contrast stripe colour — suggested yarns include options from Isager Yarn, Sandnes Garn, Filcolana and Knitting for Olive.
