Opposite
Linen, silk and mohair - lightness and heaviness at the same time.
The blouse is knitted the OPPOSITE way - from the middle and out, and knitted together in the end.
About the design
OPPOSITE is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch from mid-body to armhole. Back and front piece are worked at the same time, and continued in the sleeve, which is worked in the rounds. At the top of the back and sleeve a number of decreases shapes the sweater for a perfect fit. Left and right side are worked separately, and finally knitted together on the back and front with visible seams. Wearing, the back will fall longer than the front.
