Cloudy Blouse Pattern

By Danish designer Helga Isager. English language.

CLOUDY is worked from the bottom up. It has drop shoulder sleeves and a round neck line. The shoulders are shaped using short rows. The blouse is worked in rib with a drop stitch pattern. This pattern is made by making one new stitch (a yarn over), knitting this stitch on the following five rows and then dropping it again. When the five rows are unravelled, a nice rhombus shape appears, which is embellished with embroidery.
