Leah blus is knitted from the top down with raglan increases. Initially worked back and forth to create a split at the back of the neck, then worked in the round on circular needles. The front and back pieces are worked in stockinette stitch, while a beautiful leaf pattern is formed on the sleeves. The work is divided for sleeves and body, and they are all knitted separately. Some decreases are made on the body sides to make it slightly narrower at the waist. The body ends with an i-cord bind off. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles in a textured pattern and finished with a non-rolling bind off.
