1824 Blouson
Interweave SKU: EP0710
This is a casual raglan worked in reverse stockinette stitch.
Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Summer 2007:
Mari Lynn Patrick used dressmaker details for her blouson top. The lower edges of the bodice and sleeves are pleated into folded bands, and another band finishes the wide neckline. Raglan shoulders add to the relaxed fit of the sweater, as does a nubbly cotton yarn worked in reverse stockinette stitch.
A soft-spun cotton yarn with a bumpy texture is a good choice for the 1824 Blouson. ‘I didn’t block this sweater because I wanted to preserve the rustic, handmade feeling of the yarn. It goes with the bloused shape and roomy raglan lines.
