- Sleeves: Instructions for customization and increases are included.
Pattern
1. Foundation Chain
- Create a slip knot and begin chaining in multiples of 6 until the length matches half your bust measurement.
- For example, if your bust measures 90 cm (35.5 in), chain until it measures 45 cm (17.7 in).
- Once the desired measurement is reached, add 2 extra chains (this will create the turning chain for the first row).
2. Row 1 (Double Crochet Base Row):
- Begin by yo, skip the first 3 chains from the hook.
- Work 1 dc in the 4th chain from the hook.
- 1 dc in each chain across to the end of the row.
- Turn your work.
Tip: Keep stitches slightly loose for this pattern to ensure a comfortable drape.
3. Row 2 (V-Stitch Pattern):
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), then ch 2 (counts as a separating chain).
- Skip 2 dc from the base row and work a V-stitch (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) in the next st.
- A V-stitch is created by inserting both dc into the same base stitch.
- Ch 2, skip 2 dc, and make another V-stitch in the next st.
- Repeat this pattern until the end of the row.
- At the end: ch 2, skip 2 st, 1 dc in the top of ch-3 from the previous row. Turn.
4. Row 3 (Fan Pattern):
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), then ch 2 (separating chain).
- Inside each V-stitch, work a Fan Stitch:
- (1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc).
- Each fan consists of 3 dc separated by 2 ch-1 spaces.
- Between each fan: Ch 2 and move to the next V-stitch.
- Repeat the fan motif across the row, ending with 1 dc in the 3rd chain of turning ch from the previous row.
- Turn work.
5. Row 4 (Alternating Fans):
- Ch 3 to turn and begin the row.
- For every fan from the previous row, work the following:
- (1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc).
- Between each fan, work *ch 2, 1 dc in the center space between fans from the previous row, and ch 2, continue fans inside the next V-stitch space.
6. Repeat Rows 3 and 4 for Length
Continue alternating fan rows for the desired length of the blouse front and back panels. For Size G, work 7 motif repeats (measuring ~32 cm / 12.5 in).
7. Sleeves (Optional):
(a) Adding Chain Extension for Sleeves:
- At the base, count how many chain stitches need to be added for the circumference of your armhole.
(For reference: approx. 30 chains = 16 cm (6.3 in).) - Add these chain stitches to both sides of the blouse before joining the front and back panels.
(b) Working Sleeve Pattern:
- Work 4 motif repeats (32 rows of fans) for the desired sleeve length.
- End with a row of dc with holes, followed by a final solid dc row for a clean edge.
8. Joining the Front and Back Panels
- Use a tapestry needle or sl st to seam both sides of the panels together.
- For the neckline and shoulder seam, leave a space of 46 dc stitches (each side) for the neckline opening.
- Test-fit the blouse to confirm the neckline and shoulder seam lengths before finalizing.
9. Details and Finishes
Optional Side Detailing:
Leave 1-2 cm (roughly 3-4 stitches) unsewn for a decorative side slit, or sew the sides completely for a more fitted look.Weaving in Ends:
Weave in all loose ends with a tapestry needle.
