This really easy striped summer blouse is a charming design from the 1940s and makes
a perfect little knitting project for the warmer months. It’s a wonderful way to use up
those leftover yarn oddments you’ve been saving, while creating a pretty vintage-style
top that never goes out of fashion.
The blouse is worked in 3 ply yarn on No. 7 needles, giving it a lovely light feel that’s
ideal for summer wear. If you prefer, you can also try it in 4 ply yarn, just be sure to
check your tension first to get the best fit.
Once finished, the blouse is designed to fit a 34–35 inch bust, with a length of around
17 inches from the top of the shoulder down to the ribbing, making it a flattering and
easy-to-wear addition to any vintage-inspired wardrobe.
