This blouse features a top-down, round yoke design with charming, subtle textures.  The volume from the round yoke flows seamlessly into the body, offering an airy and relaxed fit. The stranded colour-work provides an accent to the otherwise simple appearance.  The length of the body and sleeves can be easily modified. A short-sleeved version is included in the pattern.
