Back Buttoned Blouse Knitting Pattern, Stand-Up Collar

Cover Blouse: This pattern contains directions to knit the blouse pictured. And, what a lovely blouse it is. This vintage 1949 pattern gives us long sleeves, a large stand-up notched collar with matching cuffs in contrast collar, along with a decorative band that crosses at the bodice. It is semi-fitted and hip length. And then, just as lovely as the front, the back is buttoned all the way down with 8 buttons. The pattern is sized for misses 12 to 18. The instructions are written for a size 12, with changes for 14, 16 and 18 in parentheses. This is an intermediate to advanced design.
