Elegant Simplicity is a seamless blouse, knitted from bottom to top.
In order to get to the finish line, you have to pass several stages:
1. Calculating the number of stitches.
The pattern does not give the specific number of the stitches for particular sizes, because I have strong opinion, that everybody has own preferences for the yarn weight and needles size. As a result the gauge would be different too. And most of the time, if, for example, we take 10 knitters, give them the same size of the needles and the same yarn, everyone of them would end up with own individual gauge. That why I offer to guide the knitters through the project, making the size very personal. By the end of the project this blouse will be your own pattern. So, I would suggest, to take notes while you making it.

  1. Knitting the lace.
  2. Knitting the bottom of the main body. This part will get you into the comfort zone. After the first repeat you should be able to distance yourself from the instructions and knit while you watching your favorite shows.
  3. Knitting the top part of the blouse (the back and the front around the armholes). This part will require a little bit more attention and focus. The pattern will guide you through dropped down sleeves and shoulders of the blouse.
  4. Connecting the back and the front with kitchener stitch.

As finishing any project, the biggest thing is the satisfaction.
It is up to the knitter to make it happen.
