Construction notes: The Lovelace Blouse is an elegant raglan garment which is knit seamlessly bottom-up. It features a split hem and a romantic all-over lace pattern, creating an interesting visual effect and fun knitting experience. The blouse is reversible, with a yoke deep split at one side and a closed neckline on the other side. An i-cord drawstring is used to close the neckline.

Inspiration:This pattern was inspired by Ada Lovelace.

Ada was a mathematician and already as a young girl excited about numbers, flight models and algorithms. She came up with the idea to buidl a machine that cannot only calculate, but also write and play music – long before the actual invention of the modern computer.
Ada was also the first to ever write a computer program, sequencing mathematical operations.

That brain of mine
is something more than merely mortal,
as time will show.”
Ada Lovelace
