The Brookline Blouse is a beautifully simple raglan that flatters every shape and size. Brookline is an area near my home where many of my friends live: it has a large communal lawn, a historic library, and a lake with a dock for morning meditations. It is truly a beautiful place filled with memories. Featuring eyelet raglan increases, picot bind-off on the sleeves, and a slight peplum ruffle right at the waist, this blouse is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe. I hope you can make some memories in your own Brookline Blouse!

Yarn recommendation:

I recommend a superwash merino DK (I used The Yarn Addict Co), or for a lighter version, WAK Pima Cotton.

When selecting a size, choose your actual bust size from the “yardage” chart listed below. The garment has 2-4 inches of positive ease built in, so for example, if your bust is 38 inches and you knit a size medium, there would be 2” positive ease.
