Sunshine blouse by Lone Kjeldsen

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry(opens in a new tab).

Broderie Anglaise we know best as embroidered small holes on white cotton, but you can knit the fine lace- pattern too, and if you take a closer look at the fine pattern, it looks just like sunshine.

The beautiful and very special sunny stitch was originally created by Cecilia Flori. She uses the pattern in the cowl called A thousand splendid suns, and she says: to bring light to our lives in the cold and gray days.

SUNSHINE blouse is worked from bottom and up, with well fitted set-in sleeves and a boat neck.
