Release Party - This pattern is 50 % of until April 16th.

Ella is a beautiful and lightweight blouse with short, striking sleeves. It is knitted top-down in Fluffy Alpaca Mix and Silk Alpaca de Luxe.

The blouse has a slightly oversized fit, features stripes, a round neckline, and short, slightly puffed sleeves.

You begin by knitting the upper back, followed by the upper front. Stitches are then cast on for the armholes, after which the body is worked in the round. The body is finished with a ribbed hem.
Stitches for the sleeves are picked up along the armholes. The notch forming the base of the armhole is filled using short rows, joining the sleeve to the stitches at the base of the armhole. The sleeve is then knitted in the round and finished with a narrow ribbed cuff.
Finally, a ribbed neckline is knitted.
