The Antiquity Blouse is inspired by a popular style of blouse from c.1916 – 1918. It’s knit bottom up in a solid yarn, with an elegant lace pattern around the hem and at the front panel. The sleeves are picked up in mohair for that flowy look, ending in solid twisted rib cuffs with bobbles imitating buttons. The collar is picked up in mohair and finished with a picot edge.

NOTE ON AVAILABLE SIZES - if you want to knit this, or any of my patterns, in a larger size than I currently have published, please get in touch! The only reason it is not available in larger sizes is I couldn’t get testknitters for those sizes, and I don’t want anyone to pay for a pattern and knit a size thats not been tested. So if you would like to (test)knit this - or any of my patterns! - in a larger size than is currently available, drop me a message and I’ll send you the pattern for free!
