Instructions

Yoke of Back

Make 62 chain sts and work with double crochets. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1st double crochet. In 17 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 14 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 2 x 7 sts in every 2^nd row from inwards. In 20 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Yoke of Front

Make in the same way as back, but with a deeper neck-hole. For this, in 12 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 12 cm from the set-up row and 5 x 3 sts in every 2^nd row.

Lower Part

Make 156 chain sts and circle it in the ring with 1 slip st, work with circle rows of relief pattern. In 45 cm from the set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Make shoulder seams of yoke; for the collar, make 3 cm of double crochets along the neck-hole. Sew the yoke to the lower part of the blouse. Fasten all the edges with 1 row of “shrimp stitch.”
