Description
The 1940s button-through blouse is a timeless piece, worked entirely in 4-ply yarn. Its striking
striped effect is achieved using large needles and a combination of two simple stitches: moss
stitch and an openwork stocking stitch. The openwork texture is created by adding extra stitches
in one row and dropping them in the next, giving the blouse a light and smart feel.
This versatile pattern includes instructions for both short sleeves, as shown in the image, and
long sleeves, so you can customise it to suit your style. Create a beautiful vintage piece that’s
perfect for the spring and summer season!
