ARELY is an elegant and feminine blouse with a scalloped neckline and eye-catching pattern of twisted and wrapped stitches on the circular yoke. It is made in one piece from the top down.

While I like deep yokes and my sample is made with a deeper yoke, I also included in the pattern an option with a shorter yoke. Also, I know that many of you prefer simple stockinette for body and sleeves, and this option is also included. My sample features reverse stockinette, because I like how it makes a nice contrast to the yoke pattern.

The range of ease across sizes is 15.5-16 cm/6.25-6.5”. The picture shows size 3 with 16 cm/6.5” of positive ease.
