MillaMila’s Blouse is an elegant cardigan with a lace detail. It is worked in a delicate mix of mohair and thin alpaca. The blouse is worked from the top down in Stockinette stitch with a lace pattern down the fronts and on the cuffs. It is finishing free, as the shoulders, neckband and sleeves are all added seamlessly using increases. Stitches are picked up at the end for the double knitted button band, and, finally, a beautiful crochet border is added for a special and unique look. The blouse is perfect dressed up or down, and is named after our two daughters: Milla and Mila.
