The Piilo Blouse knitting pattern is a seamless top-down design with a relaxed fit and modern construction – worked all in one piece with no seaming.

The Piilo Blouse is a classic chunky knit sweater with a round neckline, worked seamlessly from the top down. It is knitted in garter stitch in the round and offers two shape options: a cropped, boxy version or a classic straight fit with gentle waist shaping.

The neckline of Piilo Blouse  is shaped using short rows, creating a slightly lowered front and a bit more length at the back. Raglan increases create a clean silhouette, and the long sleeves feature distinct decreases that flow into wide, textured cuffs.

The entire blouse is worked in one piece – no seaming required.

This pattern is ideal for knitters who enjoy timeless, feminine pieces that are fun to knit and easy to wear.
