Floral Kokon Blouse was born in collaboration with Kokon yarns. The name “Kokon” in many Slavic languages means “cocoon”, and so this design is: a beautiful floral cocoon, in which you’d want to hide from the outside world.
The pullover is worked top down seamless in the round, featuring floral colourwork running across the bottom of the yoke and continuing on the body. Sleeves have an elegant balloon shape, and both bottom and neckline edges are finished with stockinette hem in contrasting colour. Instructions for a classic fitted sleeve are also provided.
The pattern is written for three sizes 1 (2, 3) to loosely fit 74–84 (94–104)(114–124) cm // 29–33 (37–41)(45–49) in bust circumference with ca. 16–26 cm // 6.3–10.3 in of positive ease.
For the finished garment measurements, refer to the schematics.
