PetiteKnit Cloud blouse pattern PetiteKnit Cloud blouse pattern on approximately A5 sized paper. If you would like to order the yarn to make this pattern as well please drop me a line. The Cloud Blouse is worked from the top down. First the back yoke is worked flat back and forth while short rows hare worked to shape the shoulders. Then, each shoulder is worked separately, back and forth and with short rows. The shoulders are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. The sleeves are worked in the round. At the end, the stockinette stitch funnel neckline is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck opening. Knit a swatch before beginning the project to check if the recommended needle size gives you the correct gauge.
