Meet the Belladonna Blouse. With its airy drape, slight positive ease, and nature-inspired lace front panel and bell sleeves, this makes for the perfect top for changing seasons. Wear alone to steal the show or under a jacket to let the lace center peek and pop!

Construction:
The Belladonna Blouse is constructed top-down in a circular yoke worked in joined rounds, turning every other round, and then separated for the sleeves and the body at the underarm. The rest of the body is worked in joined rounds, following the same turning pattern. Then yarn is attached to the center of the underarm, and the sleeves are worked in joined rounds, following the same turning pattern. The lace sleeve on the trim is then worked in joined unturned rounds.
