Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Casting On Stitches
Begin by casting on stitches to your knitting needle. The number of stitches will depend on your desired blouse size. Make sure to keep your tension even for a smooth finish.
Step 2: Creating the Ribbed Pattern
For the ribbed effect:
-
Work in a Knit 1, Purl 1 pattern.
-
Continue this pattern for a few rows to form a stretchy and textured border.
This will add elasticity and structure to your blouse.
Step 3: Knitting the Body
Once the ribbed section is done, switch to alternating rows of:
-
Knit on one row
-
Purl on the next row
Repeat this pattern until you reach your desired blouse length.
Step 4: Assembling the Pieces
Once you've finished knitting both the front and back panels:
-
Stack the pieces together with the right sides facing each other.
-
Sew the side edges together using a sewing needle and matching yarn.
-
Leave openings for the armholes and neckline.
Step 5: Adding the Sleeves
-
Knit two separate sleeve pieces following the same knit and purl pattern.
-
Sew them to the arm openings.
-
Insert an elastic band into the sleeve cuffs to create a snug, gathered effect.
Step 6: The Final Touches
-
Weave in any loose ends.
-
Turn your blouse right-side out and make sure all seams are secure.
-
Try it on and enjoy your handmade masterpiece!
