About this Pattern
Agnes Blouse is an elegant and simple blouse with a boat neckline, worked top-down in stockinette stitch. The design creates a flattering silhouette with a modern look, and the construction makes it both engaging and accessible to knit. Short rows are used to shape the neckline, after which the blouse is worked in stockinette with increases for a perfect fit. The sleeves are knitted directly onto the blouse from picked-up stitches, resulting in a neat and consistent finish with no visible seams.
The blouse is knitted in the eco-friendly yarn Blackhill Reborn Wool, made from 100% recycled wool. The yarn has a yardage of 300 m per 100 g, equivalent to 150 m per 50 g.
The specified gauge is 21 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette on 4 mm needles.
A gauge swatch is important to ensure correct size and fit.
Agnes Blouse comes in sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL with a finished bust circumference of 88 (94) 100 (106) 112 (118) 124 cm and a length of 51 (53) 55 (57) 59 (61) 63 cm. The blouse is designed with 5–10 cm of positive ease, meaning it fits comfortably and loosely without appearing oversized.
Yarn requirements depend on size:

The blouse is knitted on 4 mm circular needles in lengths 40, 60, 80 or 100 cm, depending on the section of the project. The design is seamless, and the technical construction with short rows and shaping around the armholes gives a professional and elegant result. The sleeves are shaped with gradual decreases and finished — like the body — with a neat ribbed hem.
Agnes Blouse is an ideal project for the confident beginner or intermediate knitter who wants a clean, versatile garment made from quality materials. It can be worn year-round — on its own or under a jacket — and suits both everyday and more dressed-up occasions. The sustainable yarn choice and timeless fit make it a wardrobe staple that can be worn again and again.
