ICEBREAKER

Design Lisa Renner

This blouse is worked top down. It is designed as a tight-fitting model. If your measurements are 5–10 cm larger than a size, you can easily knit that size. The blouse looks great when it fits snugly. Beads are knitted into the blouse. Use a beading needle or a crochet hook for this. The blouse was the 2023 Christmas calendar project from Pure Knit & Purl.
