Batignolles

Starting with a bobble-edged neckline, Batignolles can be made as a cardigan or a sweater and is knitted from the top down with increases to shape the shoulders. The yoke is then separated to work the sleeves and body in their bold polka-dots, all using the stranded colourwork (Fair Isle) technique. The sleeves are generous to give a gathered blouse-effect, tightened at the cuff and finished off, once again, with a row of small bobbles. The body is straight and can be lengthened or cropped to your preference.
