Plain Yoke Blouse
Plain Yoke Blouse is a very simple blouse in stockinette stitch. The folded edge on the body adds a neat finish and a beautiful drape. The edges on the sleeves and the neckline both have a roll-over edge worked in stockinette stitch. The pattern includes a Detail Edition and an even simpler Novice Edition without short rows.

Size guide
Plain Yoke Blouse is intended to have a positive ease of approx. 8-16 cm 3-6”, depending on how loosely fitting you want it to be. The brown, olive green and blue blouse is shown with a positive ease of 13 cm 5.25“. The red and the grey tweed blouse is shown with a positive ease of 8 cm 3.25”.
Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the widest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements given at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the blouse). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the blouse measurement. For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm 37”, a size M would provide you with a positive ease of 15 cm 6”
(109 cm – 94 cm = 15 cm). 43” - 37” = 6”.
Construction note, detailed edition (in the picture)
Plain Yoke Blouse is knitted top-down with a raised back neck, created using German short rows (GSR). This means that when working the short rows, you work back and forth in stockinette stitch (knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side). Apart from the short rows, the blouse is worked in knit stitches only. The yoke is shaped with increases.
Construction note, novice edition
Plain Yoke Blouse is knitted top-down. Everything is worked in stockinette stitch, meaning the blouse is worked in knit stitches only. The round yoke is shaped with increases. The only difference compared to the “detailed edition” is that ”novice edition” is worked the same way both in the front and back in the neck section.
