Freia Bluse (EN)

Freia Blouse is a beautiful and feminine knitted blouse with tie ribbons, perfect for those who want an exclusive and airy look with a touch of romance. The blouse is knitted using the light and fluffy Ingenua mohair yarn from Katia, which consists of 78% mohair, 13% polyamide, and 9% wool. This makes it warm, soft, and elegant with a delicate sheen. The yarn has a running length of 140 meters per 50 grams, and depending on the size, you will need between 200 and 400 grams of yarn.

The Freia Blouse is knitted back and forth from the center front on circular needles, from the bottom up. The work is then divided into front and back sections, which are each finished separately. The sleeves are knitted in the round from the bottom up and are sewn onto the blouse from the wrong side. The blouse is assembled with fine details such as a neckline edge and beautiful silk tie ribbons that add an extra luxurious finish.

The pattern includes 7 sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL, with a bust measurement ranging from 80 cm to 131 cm. The finished length varies from 50 to 62 cm, and the sleeve length is approximately 24–25 cm, or as desired. If you wish to lengthen the blouse, you will need to adjust the amount of yarn accordingly.

It is recommended to use 80 cm circular needles in sizes 5 mm and 6 mm, as well as a 40 cm circular needle in 6 mm. The gauge is 14 stitches in stockinette stitch on 6 mm needles = 10 cm, so it’s important to check that your gauge matches. If you knit tightly, you should use larger needles, and if you knit loosely, you may want to go down a needle size.

The Freia Blouse is ideal for both everyday wear and festive occasions, and the classic fit combined with the luxurious mohair look makes it a versatile and modern addition to your wardrobe. The ribbons add a feminine touch, and the blouse’s simple construction makes it approachable even for the intermediate knitter.

You will need approximately 2 meters of silk ribbon for the bows (width: 38 mm), which are sewn onto the front piece. The result is an elegant, light, and stylish blouse that you’ll love to wear again and again.
