Knitting pattern for Felicity Blouse
The Felicity blouse is a versatile and creative knitting project, worked with one strand of (organic merino wool) and two strands of (silk mohair) held together throughout. It’s the perfect stash-busting project, allowing you to use all your silk mohair and wool leftovers while truly painting with yarn. With the three strands, you can create fades, stripes, solid designs, magic balls from scraps, or anything your creativity and imagination inspire.
The blouse has a short length and an oversized fit with 20-30 cm / 8-12 inches of positive ease, making it both super comfortable and stylish. The sleeves can be customized to your preference—short, ¾ length, or full length—so you can create exactly the sweater that suits you and your style. It pairs perfectly with jeans for a relaxed yet sophisticated look. Try layering it over a simple long-sleeve T-shirt for an extra layer and a beautiful contrast.
The Felicity blouse is a project full of possibilities, allowing you to create your own unique design! And as a special detail, the sweater is just as beautiful on the wrong side as it is on the right side.

Gauge
15 sts and 24 rows in stockinette stitch on needle size 5 mm (US 8) = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in
14 sts and 22 rows in stockinette stitch on needle size 6 mm (US 10) = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in

Procedure
The blouse is knitted in the round from the top down. The neckline is cast on using an Italian cast-on, followed by the establishment of the rib pattern. Short rows are worked back and forth over the neck, sleeves, and front piece to create a higher neckline, ensuring a better fit. Increases are worked at the raglan lines throughout the yoke, and the needle size is gradually increased along the way to enhance both fit and visual effect. The body and sleeves are separated and completed individually, with the sleeves knitted to the desired length. Both the body and sleeves are bound off using an Italian bind-off.
