About

The Daphne Blouse with the original sweetheart neckline is the long sleeve baby in the Bridgerton inspired ‘Daphne’ series of knitwear. The Daphne Blouse is worked from the top down and has oversized sleeves and cute shaping.

The Daphne Blouse knitting pattern is worked from the top down, in the round, beginning at the back neckline and working down to the mid back. Stitches are then picked up to work the front shoulders and worked down to the mid front. Stitches are then cast on to work in the round, with short rows to shape the neckline, with the hem seamed at the bottom. An applied i-cord is worked along the neckline and straps. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round and shaped with short rows and increased to flare at the bottom.
