Description
Day Off blouse is an airy blouse worked in one strand of silk mohair yarn. The blouse is worked top down and uses short rows to create a semi deep, oval neckline. The shoulder is constructed with an asymmetric raglan that creates a closer fit over the shoulder and bust. The blouse has narrow sleeves that can be knitted as ¾ length or full length. The body is straight up and down and is finished of by a 2x2 rib edge. Due to the low amount of yarn needed the blouse is well suited as a scrap yarn project.

Size guide
Check your bust measurement to find the right size. Sizes A (B) C (D) E (F) correspond to the following bust circumference 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) cm [31 ½-33 ½ (33 ½-35 ½) 35 ½-37 ½ (37 ½-39 ½) 39 ½-43 ¼ (43 ¼-47 ¼)]”. The sweater has a tight fit with an approximate positive ease of 1-6 cm [½-2 ½]”. If you prefer a more oversize look it is recommended to go up a size from the one you would normally choose and adjust the length of the sleeves and body as needed.
Please note that silk mohair worked in one strand is highly flexible. The blouse easily stretches both in length and width.
It is highly recommended to knit a swatch and wash it before you begin knitting so you can check your gauge is correct before starting the sweater.
