Looking for French girl chic?

The feminine neckline and bracelet-length sleeves on this simple top-down sweater ensure it is easy to style casually or dress up for a night out. This easy knit, seamless sweater is worked top-down and has bracelet-length sleeves which add timeless sophistication to your handmade wardrobe.

Easy to knit and easy to wear, the La Monnaie Blouse knitting pattern is elegant and stylish, just like the street in Lille that it is named after.

La Monnaie Blouse uses simple eyelets to create this elegant look and makes a great introduction to lace knitting. The eyelet stitches are the easiest increases to work and they work just as well with light summer yarns as they do with warmer woollen fibres.

The La Monnaie Blouse is designed to be worn with 5-10cm (2-4 inches) of ease. Measure yourself before starting to determine the most appropriate size for you.

This pattern has been professionally tech-edited for your confidence.
