The Calla Blouse is inspired by Cala Bassa on Ibiza – a place where the turquoise sea meets pale sandy beaches and pastel parasols. The contrast between the calm landscape and the colourful details became the starting point for the flower border across the yoke.

Paradise Collection is CosyMonday's most feminine collection – inspired by flowers, warm summer days and places that stay with you. Here airy qualities meet romantic details in designs made to be worn and loved for a long time.

The pattern is written with plain explanations and a good workflow in mind. It suits you if you want to learn new techniques without the project turning complicated. The flower pattern is built up step by step and gives a result that looks far more advanced than it actually is.

• Flexible cast on
• Raglan decreases
• Flower pattern
• Knitting puff sleeves
• Using stitch markers
• Neat finishing

The mohair gives the design a light, airy halo, while the wool creates stability and holds the shape. The result is a sweater that feels warm, soft and comfortable without turning heavy.

The flower pattern is perfect for playing with colour. Try muted pastels for a romantic look, or strong contrasts if you want something more modern and graphic. Small colour changes give the design a completely new character.
