The Cumulus Blouse by PetiteKnit is a soft, lightweight sweater designed for warmth without weight.
Knit from the top down using two strands of lace yarn held together, it creates a gently airy fabric with a soft halo. The shape is simple and relaxed, finished with a flattering v-neckline.
It’s an easy, enjoyable project with minimal finishing — the kind of piece you can settle into and wear often once complete.
Kits are made using our Oh So Fine Lace base. They are dyed to order and will ship within approximately 2–3 weeks. Pattern is not included and can be purchased separately via Ravelry.
Why we love it
