Jolie Blouse

This sweater consists of the hem, the body, the sleeves, the collar and decorations. First, we'll knit the hem and the body in sequence. Then, we'll pick up stitches at the sleeve cap position and knit the sleeves. Finally, we'll make the decorations.

Part 1 HemA​ 00' 50'' ​

For the hem, we'll use the right-hand long-tail cast-on method. Knit around in a circle starting from the cast-on. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Part 2 BodyB​ Front and Back PiecesC​ 12' 47'' ​

Continue circle knitting upwards from the hem to knit the body. After completing, knit back and forth for the front piece, back piece and shoulder-parts. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Part 3 SleevesD​ 33' 11'' ​

There are two identical sleeves. The method is the same for both. Start by picking up the corresponding number of stitches at the armholes. Then, work in the round. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Part 4 CollarE​ 40' 49'' ​

Part 5 DecorationsF​ 41' 31'' ​

The decorations include the pleats on the front piece and the decorations on the neckline. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Note: ① Before making the pleats, measure the length of the curve from the bottom of your chest to where you want the collar edge to be (When measuring, try to keep it tight) to ensure the garment fits well over the chest. Then, measure the length of the sweater to make sure it fits properly.
② Refer to the video for the shrimp stitch and crochet to the corresponding length, leaving about 10cm of yarn tail at both ends before and after crocheting. After completing, sew it onto the corresponding position.
