Rustic blouse by Hanne Falkenberg, pattern

Knitting pattern for Rustic blouse by Hanne Falkenberg

The Rustic blouse was originally designed by Hanne Falkenberg in yarn No 3 (Day & Night). This yarn has unfortunately been discontinued and we can suggest the following yarn alternatives: 

- Önling No 12 (resulting in a light summer version)
- Önling No 20 (which will result in a thicker and warmer garment)

The blouse is knitted top-down on circular needles.
