Alecrim
Completely seamless from top to bottom.
The blouse starts with a tubular construction and is worked back and forth to the end of the armholes. At this point the work becomes circular to the end of the garment.
First we model the collar in double knit, then the shoulders and neckline, at the end of the neckline we start the lace stitch in the middle and at the end of the armholes we start the lace stitch on the sides.
Finally, bind off the body and pick up stitches in the armholes to finish.
