Bellis Rib

Bellis Rib is an all-over ribbed blouse that features a round yoke with a staggered rib pattern created by increases. The blouse is worked seamlessly top down in the round with 1 strand of Merino and 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. You begin with the folded neckline and continue with shaping the round yoke down to the underarms. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold here, to be worked after the body has been completed. The length of the body and sleeves can easily be adjusted. Being worked top down, it is easy to try it on as you go in order to achieve the perfect length.

Bellis Rib is intended to be fitted and is therefore designed with negative ease. To choose the correct size, look at the ‘to fit chest circumference’ measurements on the previous page. If your actual chest circumference is, say, 98 cm [381⁄2”], you should choose to knit a size M in order to achieve the intended fit.
