Cumulus Blouse O-neck - Petite Knit

The Cumulus Blouse O-neck is a soft, floaty sweater with a relaxed silhouette and a beautifully refined finish. It’s worked seamlessly from the top down in stockinette stitch, using two strands of fine silk/mohair held together throughout, creating a light, airy fabric with a gentle halo.

The round neckline and delicate i-cord edging give this design its signature elegance. It’s the kind of garment that feels effortless to wear, but unmistakably special.

Yarn requirements (explained properly)

This pattern uses two strands of laceweight silk/mohair held together as one fabric.

Think:

• Silk mohair

• Brushed lace

• Fine alpaca/silk blends

The fabric is light, warm, and airy — not dense or heavy.

Total yarn required (combined metreage)

Because two strands are held together, the total metreage below already accounts for both strands.

This equals roughly 25 g balls at ~210–225 m each, held double.
Always round up if substituting yarns or if the knitter is unsure.
