Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Creating Triple Yarn Strand
- Take three lengths of yarn, fold together to make a triple strand.
- Hold and crochet with these as one yarn to create a fuller textured fabric.
2. Foundation Chain for Base
- Measure bust and divide by 4 to get quarter bust measurement (e.g., 84 cm ÷ 4 = 21 cm).
- Chain enough stitches to reach approx. 20 cm length (Linha chain to match measured length).
- For size small, chain stitches corresponding to 20 cm.
3. Row 1 – Double Crochet Foundation
- Chain 3 to count as first double crochet (dc).
- Starting in the 5th chain from the hook, make one dc in each chain across the foundation chain.
- Continue until end of row; turn work.
4. Rows 2 to Desired Length – Building Fabric
- Chain 3 to turn (counts as dc).
- Make dc stitches in every stitch across the row.
- Turn and repeat, building rows until reaching desired blouse length (e.g., 58–63 cm).
- Use smaller crochet hook for tighter gauge if desired (as Linha did).
5. Creating “Little Houses” Back Panel (Decorative Chains)
- At desired length, start decorative chain rows on back side:
- Make a single crochet (sc) in first stitch, chain 1.
- Then make 4 half double crochet (hdc) stitches in a sequence, chain 6, skip six base stitches.
- Repeat the chain 6 and hdc group to create open, airy “houses.”
- Adjust number of chains and hdc groups to desired width.
6. Finishing “Little Houses” Section
- Turn work, work back rows with half double crochet (hdc) on base stitches and chains, filling spaces.
- Work several rows until back panel reaches proper opening for tie/strap.
7. Adding Handles/Straps
- Using larger crochet hook (3.5 mm), crochet desired length of chains for straps (e.g., 58 chains for about 30 cm).
- Attach handles securely to marked points on blouse.
- Handle edges can be finished with sc stitches for neatness.
8. Making Ruffled Strap Detail
- Work rows of triple dc stitches in same stitch (3 trebles per chain stitch) along handle chain to make ruffle.
- Increase rows for desired fluffiness; adjust number as liked.
9. Finishing and Assembly
- Weave in all ends tidily.
- Block gently if needed to shape blouse.
- Try on and adjust strap lengths as necessary.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use stitch markers to mark length and key points for straps.
- Tension control is important for a neat fabric and consistent size.
- If working with a thinner yarn, always hold three strands together for the triple yarn effect.
- Measure frequently to ensure proper size and fit.
- To maintain neat edges, chain 1 or sc at row ends.
Uses
- Stylish and breathable summer top or layering piece.
- Can be worn casually or dressed up with accessories.
- Great for crochet enthusiasts looking for simple yet elegant projects.
Tip
When working with triple yarn, take care to crochet loosely enough to avoid stiffness but tight enough to maintain fabric structure. Adjust hook size accordingly.
