Short Sleeve Knitted Blouse Pattern with Dickey

Dickey Blouse : This knitting pattern has instructions to create the blouse shown. The design, from Spinnerin, takes us back to 1950. The blouse is a pullover with short sleeves and hip length. There is a striped u-shaped dickey with four button closure running down the middle. Certainly a great top to coordinate with your wardrobe. The official magazine description - "t has the individual touch and those brown and tan dickey stripes to it, plus a little mandarin collar. Wear it for new charm with skirts or slacks. Brown crocheted buttons." This is an intermediate project worked in stockinette.
