Forest blouse & tee
The yarn kit on this page is for Forest with long sleeves. Forest can also be knitted with short sleeves, see more HERE.
The pattern includes instructions for both short and long sleeves.
CONSTRUCTION
The design is worked from the bottom up in reverse stockinette with a charted rhombus pattern on both body and sleeves. The design has set-in sleeves and a V-neck. The rib edges are cast on and bound off using the Italian cast-on and bind-off techniques.
Please note that several things happen at the same time in the pattern, so take care to read each section of the pattern before you start knitting.
