Step-by-Step Pattern
Square Motif
Round 1:
- Begin with a magic ring.
- Chain 3 (counts as first dc), make three dc in ring.
- Chain 4 (instead of traditional 2 for spacing).
- Make 4 dc in ring, chain 4. Repeat total 4 times to form 4 blocks of 4 dc separated by chain 4 spaces.
- Join with a slip stitch to top of starting chain 3. The square is formed of fan blocks separated by bigger chain loops.
Round 2 – Fan Stitch Expansion:
- Chain 3 (counts as dc), then 3 more dc in the same sp (creating a fan of 4 dc) in next chain-4 space.
- Chain 2 (space between fan stitches).
- Repeat 4 dc fan, chain 2 in every chain-4 space across all square edges.
- Join with slip stitch in top of initial chain 3.
Round 3 and onward (Up to 7 rounds):
- Repeat the fan stitch pattern as above—4 dc fans separated by chains (usually 2 chains), increasing length as desired.
- Chain 3 or chain 2 for turning (adjust based on tension).
- When diagonal size reaches desired body measurement, stop.
Joining Squares
- Join squares by placing wrong sides together.
- Use single crochet stitches and chains (ch 2) to connect motifs at corresponding points.
- Join through the edges near fan blocks, pairing motifs carefully for consistent seam.
- For corners, fasten securely.
Sleeve Construction
- Attach yarn at a V-stitch of the blouse body, usually near the shoulder.
- Chain 5 or 7 to create small frill loops around the armhole.
- Work multiple rounds of single crochet (sc), increasing count evenly to avoid tightness.
- Aim for 16 rounds total or as needed for desired sleeve length and fit.
- If arm is larger, add more stitches or rounds for comfort.
Finishing Edges and Collar
- Work 2–3 rounds of single crochet stitches along bottom edge and collar for a neat finish.
- Add a decorative frill with chains and trebles as desired (chains 3 to create slight lace effect).
- Ensure edges are neither too tight nor too loose for both appearance and fit.
Tutor's Suggestions
- Increase motif count or hook size for larger sizes.
- Keep stitches consistent to avoid unbalanced fan expansions.
- Use stitch markers to track motif joins and sleeve rounds.
- Keep the blouse breathable by not tightening chains too much.
- Adjust sleeve height by counting total rows to preference.
- Test fit frequently especially if body shape differs from pattern model.
Uses
- Elegant summer blouse or light layering piece
- Casual or dressy wear depending on yarn choice
- Great for handmade gifts or personalized wardrobe
- Perfect pairing with shorts, skirts, or pants
Helpful Tip
Always join motifs as you go to avoid complex post-assembly sewing. Maintain tension but allow enough stretch in fan chains to shape the blouse comfortably.
