The mini butterfly blouse is knitted from the top down in stocking stitch with double thread Tynn Line from Sandnes garn, or a similar yarn with the same knitting tension. First, knit the upper part of the shoulders, with increases towards the neck. Then pick up the stitches that you first started with and knit the back piece, with increases towards the neck. When you have knitted two “equal” parts that are mirrored, gather these and knit a small section back and forth, before knitting in the round. Pick up for sleeves along the opening of the armhole. The sleeves are knitted separately, with increases to get nice ruffles. Finally, pick up stitches around the neck opening. Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives the correct knitting tension. Note that the knitting tension is stated after it has been rinsed.
