Uddybende information
Holly Off Shoulder by KnitAmore is a modern and close-fitting off-shoulder blouse with a relaxed yet feminine expression. The design combines a wide folded ribbed neckline with a smooth stockinette body, creating a flattering silhouette that highlights the shoulders while maintaining a casual and wearable look.
The blouse is knitted seamlessly from the top down. It begins with a folded ribbed neckline, which is worked in rib stitch and folded over to form the off-shoulder detail. This construction ensures a clean finish and a comfortable fit around the shoulders. After the rib section, the stitches are divided for sleeves, front, and back, and the yoke is shaped using raglan increases.
The raglan lines are formed by purl stitches, creating a subtle and elegant detail that softly frames the yoke without overpowering the overall design. The body is knitted straight down in stockinette stitch and finished with a rolled hem, giving the blouse a casual and slightly relaxed edge.
The sleeves are knitted in the round and gradually widen toward the bottom. They are long and extend to the middle of the back of the hand, where they end with a rolled edge that mirrors the body finish. This creates a balanced and cohesive design while adding a modern touch.
Holly Off Shoulder is designed with a negative ease of approximately 10–20 cm, resulting in a close-fitting silhouette in both body and sleeves. The snug fit ensures that the off-shoulder neckline stays in place while accentuating the shape of the garment.
The blouse is knitted using one strand of pure merino wool held together with one strand of silk mohair. This yarn combination creates a soft, lightweight fabric with warmth, elasticity, and a delicate halo. The recommended yarns are Perlata d’Australia from Lana Gatto and a silk mohair such as Luxury Silk Mohair, providing both comfort and durability.
