Jenny Blouse

The Jenny Blouse is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth in the smock pattern with short rows. Next, stitches are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke and the shoulders are worked from these stitches. The body is worked in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round in the smock pattern. The pattern includes instructions for working the sleeves with and without decreases. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted for the folded neck edge.

Knit a swatch to check your gauge before starting your project. Remember to wash the swatch before measuring your gauge.
